The loss to Manchester United in the final group match in the Champions League saw CSKA Moscow drop to the Europa League, where they haven’t started life so badly, picking a barren draw away to Red Star Belgrade and ahead of their return leg on Wednesday 21st February, they will be hoping to use their home advantage to see off the Serbian side. Both sides are clearly still rusty, having not played much competitive football over the last two months but have been engaged in a lot of friendly matches. CSKA go to the match on a seven - game unbeaten run but six of those are draws, with just one win. In their last five home matches, they have managed three draws and two wins, scoring 10 goals and conceding two. They lost just twice in their last 10 home matches and have kept six clean sheets in their last seven home matches. In the Europa League, CSKA have a good home record, having managed seven wins in 10 but they will have to improve on their overall performance in the competition, having managed just four wins in the last 10 matches. Red Star on the other hand, restarted their domestic season on a winning note and from their last five matches, have a win, three draws and a loss. From their previous five away matches, they have a loss, a win and three draws, having scored five goals and conceded five. They have lost just once in 21 matches and registered only two losses in their last 10 away matches. In the Europa League, Red Star have picked four wins in their last 10 and have managed just two wins in their last 12 away matches in Europa League. This will be the second ever meeting between the two sides.
