After the third round of the Champions League, football excitement is expected tonight in the Europa League and the Conference League. Despite the fact that in the third round of the Europa League there will be only one duel between clubs from the top five leagues - Celta will host Nice, there will certainly be uncertainty.
Regional participants, Red Star Belgrade and Dinamo Zagreb, play in two separate matches.
The “Red and Whites” will be away to Braga for the second consecutive match in Portugal in the first match at 6:45 PM. Previously, despite a good performance, they were defeated away to Porto at the “Dragao” stadium with a score of 2:1.
Red Star has a point from the first two rounds, won in Belgrade against Celtic, Braga has all six, and is especially good at its arena, the popular "quarry".
- Every game is a story in itself. Braga plays differently than Porto, of course I would like to repeat such a game and to improve something in the game every time, to be better. We hope that the team will show even more than in that game, but against such a high-quality opponent, it depends somewhat on their attitude - he said Vladan Milojevic, the Red Star coach, who is not counting on him due to injuries Glazera i Cathay.
The Zagreb “blues” are in a great position as they are the leaders in the Europa League table with six points and the best goal difference (6:2). In the 3rd round, tonight at 21 pm they will visit Malmo, who are last, without a point and with a goal difference of 1:5. The Montenegrin internationals in Malmo cannot be satisfied with their club's European start in the last round Sead Haksabanovic was not in the protocol for personal reasons and Andrej Đurić was on the field from the 16th minute in the defeat in Plzen (3:0).
- Malmo respects us, but they are not afraid of us - warns Dinamo coach Mario Kovacevic.
It won't be easy either. Ristu Radunović, because his FCSB welcomes the great Bologna. The Romanian champion has three points, while Bologna played unexpectedly poorly and comes to Bucharest with only one point.
Among the matches that can be called derbies are the matches between Nottingham Forest and Porto, Feyenoord and Panathinaikos, and Fenerbahçe and Stuttgart on the Bosphorus.
The third round of the Conference League is being played tonight, and Omonia with a recovered player Stevan Jovetić, including By Novic Eraković, is a guest of Drita in Pristina.
Rijeka plays with Sparta Prague, Zrinjski is away to Mainz, while Celje goes to Ostrvo to face Šemrok.
