WHAT DOES THE RED STAR NEED TO GO THROUGH?

On the other hand, the outlook looks more favorable for Red Star as they have a foot and a half assured in the final round to be in the next Champions League. The Belgrade side needs to win by any score, draw by any score and even lose by four goals to go through.

WHAT DOES PYUNIK NEED TO DO TO GO THROUGH?

Pyunik took a drubbing in the last game where Red Star took advantage to thrash the home side 0-5. The Pyunik team will need to score 5 goals to tie the aggregate and try to win the duel in extra time or penalties, if they score 6 they would be and not concede they would automatically be in the next round.

Winning for pride

At the moment, the Red Star team is the clear favorite to win a place in the UEFA Champions League, however, this is their first knockout match, so despite having the advantage, they should not be confident if they want to keep their ticket to the final knockout round to be present in the best tournament in the world. Last game they literally made their home ground count and scored 5 goals that made them take advantage to leave their rivals in a near knockout.

Looking for a comeback

The Pyunik team will try to overcome the adverse maracdor they received in the first match where the Red Star did not hesitate to win against their rival to have a foot and a half in the next knockout round towards the UEFA Champions League, so they will try to win now as locals and score 6 goals in 90 minutes and not concede a goal so that they can qualify and achieve the feat of this almost impossible comeback.
