Red Star Belgrade News and Form – Will Red Star finish the job?
Red Star are likely going to be pretty content with their 2-2 draw from the game in Switzerland. It was almost a lot better because there were leading 2-1 until they gave away a penalty inside the final fifteen minutes. Still they have a couple of away goals under their belt which is pretty huge for them.
It is only going to take a goal from them to stack tremendous pressure on the visitors then. It has been a long qualification campaign for Red Star Belgrade who started in the first qualification round. They are only W2 D4 L1 this season in their seven qualifiers. In the last round, they won a penalty shootout over FC Copenhagen.
If you look at their home form in the competition though it is pretty good. Red Star Belgrade have taken a W4 D4 L1 record in their last nine home games in the competition, and one of their last three was a 2-0 success against Liverpool in last season’s group stage.

How crucial will that late penalty Young Boys got in the first leg, be in this tie? They were relieved at the 2-2 draw, but probably disappointed not to have done better at home. So they are in a tough spot now because they have to go to Belgrade and get on the scoresheet at least once.
Young boys have taken a W5 D2 record from their seven fixtures played across all competitions this season. They only came into the Champions League qualifiers at this playoff stage. They were up in the group stage last season, going unbeaten in their final four games
That run which included a draw against Valencia and a home win over Juventus. However, the Swiss team have only claimed one victory in their last nine Champions league fixtures. They are only W1 L8 in their last nine Champions League road games.
