Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade will lock horns in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, with third position in Group G on offer for the two sides.
Both teams have collected just one point from their four matches in the group stage, but if there is a winner on Tuesday, that side will secure third spot in the group and a position in the Europa League.
The Swiss outfit opened their group-stage campaign with a 3-1 home loss to RB Leipzig, while they were beaten twice by Manchester City in their most recent games in the competition, going down 3-1 at home and 3-0 away, with the team short of the quality required to match the reigning champions.
Young Boys would secure third spot in the group, and a position in the Europa League, if they win on Tuesday, but a draw would see the fight go to the final matchday, and Raphael Wicky's side arguably have the easier match, heading to RB Leipzig, while Red Star Belgrade will host Man City.
The reigning Swiss champions finished fourth in their last participation in a Champions League group stage, which came in 2021-22, but they did play in the Europa League in 2020-21, progressing to the last-16 stage of the competition before losing to Ajax.
