Bodo/Glimt v Crvena zvezda stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

This is the first ever meeting between the two sides and both sides have had differing fortunes when playing on the continental stage.

Bodo/Glimt have never made it to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, with their best ever performance coming in the 2020/21 UEFA Conference League where they fell to Roma at the quarter-final stage.

Crvena zvezda boast a far superior European record, having lifted the European Cup in 1991 after a penalty shootout victory over a Marseille side that featured the likes of Jean-Pierre Papin and Chris Waddle, while they also reached the group stages of the UEFA Champions League last season.
