Red Star Belgrade's next Champions League assignment sees them travel to face RB Leipzig on Wednesday. After two rounds of play, Red Star are yet to win and sit bottom in Group G, two points adrift of second-placed Leipzig. RB Leipzig are playing their second successive match in Group G at home and will hope to not suffer the same fate as they did last time out against Manchester City. Marco Rose's men were defeated 3-1 by the defending champions on matchday two, suffering the same fate they had inflicted on Young Boys. Die Rotten Bullen are favorites to join City in the knockout rounds. They however are struggling with inconsistency at the moment. The German side has won only one of its last four games. This win, a 3-1 success, came last time out in the league away to Darmstadt.

Red Star Belgrade have fared way better than their hosts in recent fixtures and bring with them a five-match unbeaten run. They have won four times in this stretch and are currently on a three-game winning run. Barak Bakhar's charges responded to their matchday one 3-1 loss away to Manchester City by drawing 2-2 with Young Boys at home. The Serbian champions were 3-2 winners against Javor on Saturday in the Super Liga. It was the third match in a row that they had scored at least three goals. This should have them confident of taking advantage of an inconsistent Leipzig team in what is the two teams' first-ever meeting.
