Match preview: Red Star vs Pafos

Red Star and Pafos will compete at Stadion Rajko Mitić in a UEFA Champions League match. Notably, there are no recorded recent encounters between these two sides.

Team analysis: Red Star

In their last outing, they emerged victorious against Mladost Lučani in the Super League with a scoreline of 4-1. Over their last 10 home games, Red Star has secured 8 wins and 2 draws.

In this competition, they have remained unbeaten in their last 4 fixtures. Although the defence has been breached in 3 of those matches, their attack has been prolific, consistently scoring at least one goal in each of their last 4 matches in this competition. At home, they tend to see goals from either side; with 31 out of their last 32 games ending with more than 1.5 goals, and 27 of those exceeding 2.5 goals. This team often opens the scoring — they’ve done so in 14 of their last 15 games, leading at half-time in 9 and maintaining that lead until the final whistle in 10.

The Red Star approach this playoff match for the Champions League group stage with an imperative need to win at home to create a favourable advantage for the return leg. They deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation, ensuring defensive solidity with two holding midfielders while three players support offensive play, looking for their centre forward. At home, their recent form has been impressive, with five wins and one draw from their last six home games; notably, five of those matches featured more than 1.5 goals, and four saw over 2.5 goals scored.

Team analysis: Pafos

In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Pafos registered 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. The defence has been solid recently, conceding goals in only 1 of their last 4 games, while their attack has also performed reliably, scoring in all of their last 4 matches in this competition.

Pafos will approach this playoff match for the Champions League group stage knowing they have a home leg to come and therefore need at least a positive result from this away trip. They typically employ a 4-1-2-1-2 formation; a single midfielder shields the defence, while the three advanced players work the flanks to facilitate play for the two strikers. As visitors, Pafos have shown good form, with four wins and two draws in their last six away games — notably, they have scored in every match during this stretch.
