Prediction: Red Star Belgrade wins (90 minutes)
Despite being from a top-five league, Lille have performed very poorly in the Europa League and recent Ligue 1 matches. They have already lost twice to Red Star Belgrade this season, in both the league phase and playoffs, severely damaging their away confidence. Red Star faced a strong league opponent last weekend and may have fitness issues, making a draw plausible, but Red Star are still more likely to win at home.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Red Star Belgrade
Another sound defensive performance has Red Star on the brink of a place in the last 16 of this competition for the first time since 2022.
If you don’t count friendlies, then Dejan Stankovic has yet to lose in his second stint in charge of this club, winning six consecutive competitive outings at the helm. His side have not conceded in their last three matches played across all competitions, while netting a combined 19 goals in six encounters this month. At home, this team are unbeaten in their last four games played excluding friendlies, without a single defeat in Serbia on the current Europa League campaign.
They have yet to lose a home game in the tournament this decade beyond the group phase, defeating Rangers 2-1 in Belgrade in 2022, but losing that round of 16 tie 4-2 on aggregate. At the same time, this team have never won a home contest versus French opposition in Europe this century, with their only such victory coming in a 1998 first-round affair versus Metz (2-1) when this tournament was known as the UEFA Cup.

Lille
A rough opening leg at home last week has Lille in need of a win to maintain their hopes of making the last 16 of this tournament for the first time since 2010. Bruno Genesio’s men are coming into this match on a positive note, defeating Angers 1-0 in Ligue 1 action this past weekend, their first away win of 2026. A victory on Thursday would end their three-game losing run as the visitors in this competition, while also marking their first Europa League triumph on the road since last October at Roma (1-0).
Lille have lost their last two knockout fixtures away from home in Europe since a 3-0 win at Sturm Graz in the opening leg of a Conference League tie in 2024. After failing to win the first match of a knockout tie beyond the group phase of a European tournament this century, Lille have never advanced. The last time they had a two-legged affair in Serbia, however, Les Dogues came away with a 2-0 victory at Sloboda Uzice in the third round of the 2009 Europa League qualifying stage, advancing 4-0 on aggregate.
