Red Star Belgrade and Pafos FC are warming up ahead of their match on Tuesday. Red Star Belgrade come into this match off the back of a season of triumph. Serbian champions at the conclusion of the previous season, they have started 2025 in top condition. In the last couple of weeks, they have beaten a succession of home matches, scoring a host of goals in the process and boasting a clean sheet in the vast majority of them. Their lightning-quick transitions in attack have been matched so far in defense against domestic sides, where they have been susceptible very rarely. Red Star Belgrade come into this European match in good heart.
Pafos FC, meanwhile, are new to this level in comparison. Their Cypriot side last season had a top league finish and is having a solid season under a consistent manager. Pafos have kept things tight at the back and their last set of results featured a string of victories and draws that show a lot of spirit, although harder challenges have been encountered in the europ competitions.
Though their scoring rate is less prolific than Red Star's, Pafos have been disciplined and well-organized, especially in home games. Red Star generally possesses the momentum, though Pafos will be encouraged by a strong season.

Our Red Star Belgrade vs Pafos FC Prediction
Red Star will be heavily dependent on their first-team goalscorers. Senegalese center-forward Cherif Ndiaye topped the scoring for the club last season with double digits, and he continued scoring in the last two games. Veteran attacking midfielder Aleksandar Katai gave the side many goals (over 10 last season) and picks up assists for his teammates.
In the case of Pafos, the Anderson Silva and Jairo combination has been important. Each of the forwards scored just below double figures last season (just 10–11 goals each) and they have spearheaded the lines successfully in the limited quantity of European games they have played in. These two men will be responsible for the fortunes of their teams in the evening.
With all these in mind, Red Star is likely going to dominate most of the game at home. Their superior firepower and experience will show in the end. Red Star Belgrade will probably win easily. Such a outcome of 3-0 or 3-1 in favor of Red Star is likely, indicating their dominance at home, though Pafos will try and frustrate them and might score in a counterattack. Our prediction for Red Star Belgrade vs Pafos FC: Over 2.5 goals.
