Crvena Zvezda will welcome Lincoln Red Imps to the Rajko Mitić Stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday. They met in the first leg in Gibraltar last week, and Red Star registered a 1-0 away win.
The hosts have enjoyed a 100% start to their 2025-26 season. After a 1-0 win in the first leg, they overcame Beograd 7-1 in the Serbian SuperLiga. Mirko Ivanić and Rade Krunić scored in the first half, while Milson, Bruno Duarte, Aleksandar Katai (2), and Vasilije Kostov added goals after the break.
The Red Imps failed to score for the first time in six games in European qualifiers in the first leg and will look to return to goalscoring ways here. Notably, they were eliminated from the second qualifying round last season.
