Red Star Belgrade host Pafos in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League 2025-26 qualifying play-off tie at Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia, on Tuesday. Watch the Red Star Belgrade vs Pafos football match live.
Red Star started their qualifying campaign with a one-sided second-round tie against Lincoln Red Imps of Gibraltar. Crvena Zvezda recorded a modest-looking 1-0 win in the first leg, but eventually completed a 6-1 aggregate win. The Serbian champions then beat Poland's Lech Poznan 4-2 despite playing out a 1-1 draw in the return leg.
They finished 29th in the final standings of the Champions League 2024-25 season with six points from two wins and six defeats. Vladan Milojevic's men are now eyeing a return to the continental top flight for the second time in two seasons.
Like their play-off rivals Red Star, Pafos entered the qualifying campaign in the second round. The Cypriot outfit survived a tense second round tie against Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-1, 1-0), sealing the progression with an away win.
Up against favourites Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine in the third round, Juan Carlos Carcedo's men completed a stunning 3-0 win on aggregate to make a tournament proper push in their debut campaign. Their previous continental experience was reaching the Conference League knockout phase last season.
