Crvena Zvezda Preview – Can Crvena Zvezda repeat at home?
After losing 2-1 away from home in the 1st leg against Kazakhstan outfit, Kairat Almaty, in the 2nd qualifying round of these Champions League qualifiers, Crvena Zvezda had it all to do in the return leg on home soil last week but the Serbian side passed the test with flying colours.
Crvena Zvezda turned the tie on its head by recording a comprehensive 5-0 win in the 2nd leg as Kairat Almaty were powerless to stop their hosts and the Serbian hosts will be looking for more of the same on Tuesday night against Moldovan visitors, Sheriff.
The bigger picture shows that Crvena Zvezda have lost just one of their last 52 matches in all competitions which is an extraordinary record and one that places the hosts in the driving seat ahead of this 1st leg tie.
Sheriff Preview – Can Sheriff produce upset?
Sheriff bring a five-match winning streak into this 1st leg in Serbia following wins in each of their two ties in the 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds of the Champions League along with a domestic top flight 3-1 victory away from home at Floresti in the Moldovan Divizia National.
A 1st qualifying round victory over Albanian side, Teuta Durres, 5-0 on aggregate was followed by an impressive 4-1 aggregate win against Armenian outfit, Alashkert, so the visitors will be in confident mood as they prepare for this away leg.
Sheriff have also won six of their last seven ties in the Champions League but it may well be a case of ‘horses for courses’ as they now find themselves up against experienced campaigners at this level here.
