Red Star Belgrade will welcome RB Leipzig on Tuesday seeking to earn their first Champions League victory of the season. The hosts are currently bottom in Group G after three matches while Leipzig are second. Red Star Belgrade have earned just one point and are in danger of missing out on qualifying for the knockout rounds. They have lost twice already in the group and another loss will all but secure their fate. The reverse fixture in Germany played a fortnight ago, ended 3-1 in favour of Leipzig. Crvena Zvezda have responded well since that defeat and haven’t lost any of their last three matches. They have won twice with a 3-1 victory over Radnik Surdulica in the Super Liga the latest.

RB Leipzig have managed six points in Group G and sit comfortably in second place as their closest challengers are five points behind. A third victory will almost certainly secure their place in the round of 16 as they will need just two more points. The German side however arrive for this match having hit a dip in form and winning might not be a sure shot. Marco Rose’s men have lost their last two matches and have done so without finding the back of the net. After being dumped out of the DFB Pokal last Tuesday, Leipzig fell further behind in the Bundesliga after a 2-0 defeat to Mainz. The loss on Saturday left them eight points off the pace
