Match preview
Having claimed a 5-0 victory at Rajko Mitić Stadium six nights ago, Red Star Belgrade can relax as they make the long journey east to Armenia.
In the first leg, Osman Bukari bagged a hat-trick, before Kings Kangwa and Stefan Mitrović were also on target in an emphatic victory.
So, Dejan Stanković’s side can start to look forward to a Champions League play-off round clash with Maccabi Haifa.
Last season, Crvena zvezda reached the Europa League round of 16, their best run in UEFA competition since winning the European Cup in 1991.
So, the Serbian champions look well-placed to qualify for the Champions League group phase for the third time in five seasons.
Baring a remarkable turnaround in Yerevan, they’ll meet the losers of Viktoria Plzeň vs FC Sheriff in the Europa League play-offs.
Regardless of the outcome in that, Pyunik will compete in a UEFA group stage for the very first time, having already beaten Cluj and Dudelange this season.
So, very little on the line at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium.
