Pyunik Yerevan take on the visitors Crvena Zvezda in the second leg of UEFA Champions League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 0-5. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 9th at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium (Yerevan).
Pyunik has already proved themselves several times in this Champions League qualification. The. "Academy" have pleased their fans in the spring. Then they finally, after a 7-year pause, returned to the 1st place in the Armenian championship. This allowed to return to the Champions League. Twice after the drawing in first leg, the Armenians were crossed off, and they invariably shamed the skeptics. First there was the passage of CFR Cluj of Dan Petrescu following the results of a penalty shootout in Cluj. And then, even after losing 0-1 to Dudelange in Yerevan, then the Caucasians managed to record a crashing victory in Luxembourg, taking out the hosts 4-1, despite the fact that there "F91" scored first. In Belgrade, a miracle didn’t happen, and now it is clear that they will say goodbye to the Champions League in the home match.

Crvena Zvezda want to confirm dominance in the domestic arena with success in the international one. The hosts successfully reinforce the great football history with a high current level. Since 2018, no one, including Partizan, has been allowed to come close to 1st place. But, of course, in Belgrade they want to show notable results in European competitions. True, if in 2018 and 2019 it was possible to break into the Champions League, then the Serbs flew out in the qualifications of this tournament - but then they played in the Europa League until the spring playoffs. Of course, Dejan Stankovic and his players want to show that they can learn from mistakes. Well, having confidently started in the domestic championship, on August 3rd they hosted the Armenians at home and they simply destroyed them by scoring 5 unanswered goals.
Crvena Zvezda, as a rule, starts playing in the Champions League, and Pyunik has not wandered there for a long time. So it's not surprising that this couple is crossing each other for the first time. It is clear that the second leg turns into a formality. But this game should be bright - we are waiting for "more than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
