Match begins: 17:55 (UTC)
Venue: Stadion Rajko Mitić (55538 seats)

Crvena Zvezda and Milan will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa League 16th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Milan have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
