Red Star Belgrade vs FC Copenhagen
Red Star Belgrade will host FC Copenhagen in the first leg of the third round of the UCL qualification. The match will be held in the middle of the week, precisely on Wednesday (7/8) in the morning at the Red Star Stadium.
Red Star Belgrade arrived in this phase after passing FK Suduva in the first round with a score of 0-0 and 2-1 as the visitors and then the host. In the next round they also won 2-0 over HJK as the host, although they lost 2-1 at home to the enemy.
Red Star Belgrade will also compete with the status of champions of the Serbian League last season without defeat. At that time they also became the best fertile hosts with a collection of 44 goals and conceded only 6 times to win 14 wins and 1 draw.
Instead, FC Copenhagen will fight as Danish League champions as well as participants with the best away matches with 8 wins, 3 draws, and only lost 2 times after scoring 27 goals and conceding 11 times. They got to this phase after passing the challenge of The New Saints with a score of 0-2 at home to the enemy, then won 1-0 as host.
A visit at Red Star Stadium in tomorrow’s match will be FC Copenhagen’s inaugural opportunity to face the host. Unfortunately, they were greatly disadvantaged by the schedule because they had to perform again the next two days against Lyngby in the local league. This fact makes the host more favored as a winner.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
