FK Crvena Zvezda vs PSV Eindhoven

Crvena Zvezda and PSV have met just twice before in European competition, with both of those coming in qualifying for the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League. After winning 3-2 at home in the first leg, Crvena Zvezda were eliminated in the third round, following a 0-5 defeat in the second leg on the road.

This will be just the third time that teams from Serbia/Yugoslavia and the Netherlands have faced off in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, with the previous two games coming back in the Last 16 of the 1956-57 European Cup - Crvena Zvezda won 6-3 on aggregate against Rapid JC Heerlen (4-3 away, 2-0 at home).

Crvena Zvezda have won just 11 points in 24 games in the UEFA Champions League since their debut in the competition in 2018 (W3 D2 L19), though all 11 have come at home, including a 5-1 win over Stuttgart on MD5, their biggest ever win in the competition.  

PSV have won two of their last three games in the UEFA Champions League (L1), while with a win here, could record their most victories in a single campaign in the competition since 2015-16 (3).

Crvena Zvezda are on the longest current run of UEFA Champions League games without a clean sheet (20), with their last one in the competition coming against Liverpool in November 2018 (2-0).
