Red Star was lucky in the draw - against Legia or Spartak for the playoffs!
Red and Whites will travel to Poland or Slovakia
FC Red Star found out the name of a potential rival in the third round of qualifications for the Champions league!
If they win against Suduva from Lithuania in the second round, Red and Whites could play against the better team from a duel Legia (Poland) / Spartak (Slovakia).
The first match is scheduled for August 7 or 8 on Marakana, and the rematch will be played seven days later.
Red Star was lucky for avoiding Salzburg and Ludogorec, but Legia is not the weakest team from the privileged group.
However, the Polish champion is currently in poor shape. They were defeated during the weekend by Zaglebie with the score 3:1.
