Pafos reach the Conference League knockouts last season
Crvena Zvezda made the league phase of the Champions League, finishing 29th
Recommended bet: Crvena Zvezda to win & both teams to score
A place in the Champions League and the chance to rub shoulders with some of Europe's elite is the prize on offer as Pafos entertain Crvena Zvezda in Limassol on Tuesday evening.
The Cypriot side caused a major shock with their 2-1 win in Serbia last time and are on the verge of a first ever qualification for this competition proper.
However, they face a Red Star team that were in the league phase last season and one which has the knowhow to turn this tie around.
Team news
Domingos Quina is available again after serving a suspension for the home side but boss Juan Carlos Carcedo could opt to keep changes at a minimum.
Joao Correia netted in the first leg and should once more be deployed behind Anderson Silva and Muamer Tankovic.
Marko Arnautovic could make his first start for the visiting side, while both Brazilian centre-back Rodrigao and ex-AC Milan midfielder Rade Krunic are available after their suspensions.
Nemanja Radonjic is returning from injury and is in contention to start.

The stats
Crvena Zvezda were 3-1 winners away at Lech Poznan in the previous round.
Aleksandar Katai has six goals in his last three starts in all competitions for Red Star.
Crvena Zvezda had 26 attempts at goal and returned an xG figure of 2.38 in the first leg.
Joao Correia scored Pafos' opener within a minute of the start.
Pafos have eliminated Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dynamo Kyiv already this season.
Prediction
The first meeting between these two was highly entertaining, with 40 goal attempts between them in Belgrade and a hot night in Limassol is likely to produce another end-to-end battle.
Red Star were 29th in the Champions League's inaugural league phase last season, but they were winners at Young Boys and came within minutes of a draw against AC Milan in the San Siro.
They won 3-1 at Lech Poznan in the previous round and have a perfect winning record on the road this season, with three victories from three so far. They are also averaging three goals per game in all competitions.
If it is as open as the first leg, with the likes of Arnautovic to bring in and Katai in fine scoring touch, the visiting side are fancied to outscore their Cypriot hosts in Limassol, as Pafos also must cope with playing their massive game away from their own stadium.
