Red Star vs Man City - Champions League: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
- Red Star and Man City sit at opposite ends of Group G
- The Serbian champions are yet to win a European game this season
- Man City came from behind to beat Red Star 3-1 in September
Perennial Serbian champions Red Star conclude another unsuccessful Champions League campaign with a visit from holders Manchester City on Wednesday night.
Much like their previous two appearances in the competition proper, Red Star will finish bottom of their group. However, in both 2018 and 2019, the Belgrade outfit managed to claim one victory - famously defeating Liverpool five years ago.
City do not seem like Red Star's best bet to end this season's winless streak. Pep Guardiola's side may be enduring a sticky patch domestically - Sunday's comeback victory over Luton Town concluded their own four-game barren spell - but they have been imperious on the continent.
Triumphant in all five Champions League games thus far, City recorded a season-high tally of shots (37) in a 3-1 win over Red Star in September.
Here's everything you need to know about City's bid to extend their perfect group-stage record.

Red Star vs Man City score prediction
Red Star may come into the contest with their European elimination confirmed but they can be buoyed by a piece of history. Victory on the weekend extended Red Star's unbeaten home run to 122 league matches, surpassing Real Madrid's world record.
This dominance at the Marakana does not extend to continental competition but Red Star will not be helpless bystanders to City's brilliance, as Guardiola warned ahead of the reverse fixture: "Quick in transitions, good runners and when they attack, they have lots of players in the final third."
Nevertheless, City remain heavy favourites - with Red Star's attacking instincts potentially offering the visitors space to launch forward thrusts of their own.
Prediction: Red Star 0-3 Man City
