Tonight, on August 26, 2025, Crvena Zvezda travels to Cyprus to face Pafos FC in the decisive Champions League playoff second leg, with kickoff at 21:00 CEST (19:00 UTC) at the Alphamega Stadium in Limassol. With the aggregate standing at 2–1 in favor of Pafos following their 2–1 win in Belgrade last week, Zvezda must win tonight to turn the tie in their favor.

Crvena Zvezda boast deep experience at this stage—this would be their fifth appearance in the Champions League proper in the last several seasons, and historically they’ve rarely faltered in second legs of European play-offs, having lost only once in their past 12 ties. Meanwhile, Pafos, while impressive as domestic champions and on a European unbeaten run in qualifying, remain relative newcomers at this level of competition.

Zvezda’s captain midfielder Rade Krunić has stated the squad’s ambition clearly—they “came to Cyprus with a clear goal: to qualify for the Champions League.” Coach Milojević emphasized the importance of showing strength on the field.

Drawing from these factors, tonight’s prediction is bold yet justified: Crvena Zvezda will harness their European pedigree, tactical discipline, and mental resilience to overturn the deficit and secure a vital 1–0 or 2–0 win. Their hunger to reach the Champions League group stage, combined with Pafos's relative inexperience at this juncture, makes this a compelling call. Back Crvena Zvezda to win tonight and force passage into the UEFA Champions League group phase.

今晚，2025年8月26日，克雷维纳·兹韦兹达将前往塞浦路斯，在决定性的欧冠季后赛第二回合对阵帕福斯足球俱乐部，比赛将于东部时间21:00（世界标准时间19:00）在利马索尔的阿尔法mega体育场开球。帕福斯上周在贝尔格莱德2-1取胜，目前总比分为2-1，兹韦兹达今晚必须获胜才能扭转战局。

兹韦兹达在这个阶段拥有丰富的经验——这将是他们在过去几个赛季中第五次出现在欧冠赛场上，而且从历史上看，他们很少在欧洲附加赛的次回合中失利，在过去的12场比赛中只输了一次。与此同时，帕福斯虽然作为国内冠军和在欧洲预选赛中保持不败，但在这个级别的比赛中相对来说仍然是新人。

Zvezda的中场队长Rade kruniki明确地表达了球队的雄心——他们“带着一个明确的目标来到塞浦路斯：进入欧冠。”米洛耶维奇教练强调了在场上展示实力的重要性。

从这些因素来看，今晚的预测是大胆而有道理的：克雷维纳将利用他们的欧洲血统，战术纪律和精神弹性来扭转赤字，并确保关键的1-0或2-0获胜。他们渴望进入欧冠小组赛阶段，再加上帕福斯在这个关键时刻相对缺乏经验，这使得这是一个令人信服的呼吁。今晚回到克雷维纳·兹韦兹达，并强行进入欧洲冠军联赛小组赛阶段。
