Partizan Belgrade lock horns with Getafe in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying play-off on Thursday. The hosts have work to do after a 3-1 first-leg defeat in Spain last week.
Sasa Ilic’s Partizan are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Mladost Lucani at the weekend in the Serbian SuperLiga. The Black and Whites conceded thrice inside 69 minutes before Demba Seck bagged a consolation six minutes from time.
Thanks for the submission!
A third straight league defeat dropped Partizan to 12th in the league, with four points from five games, winning one, as they now turn their attention to the continent.
Partizan’s Demba Seck equalised in the 43rd minute at Getafe following Enes Unal’s ninth-minute opener before the hosts scored twice in the last three minutes to take control of the tie. Jose Bordalas’ side are fresh off a 1-0 La Liga home win over Racing Santander at the weekend, with Unal’s 81st-minute strike proving to be the difference between the two teams.
The Deep Blues – eighth in their domestic league after two wins – will look to feature in Europe (except qualifiers) for the first time since 2020, when they graced the UEFA Europa League.
On that note, here’s a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match stats, and betting tips for the Partizan-Getafe Conference League qualifier at the Partizan Stadium in Belgrade:

Partizan Belgrade vs Getafe prediction
The two sides have had contrasting campaigns. While Partizan are languishing towards the bottom of their domestic league, Getafe have won two of three games across competitions and are mid-table in La Liga.
In terms of head-to-head, there’s not much history between the two sides, with the visitors winning their first-ever meeting with Partizan last week to take a huge step towards qualifying for the Conference League tournament proper.
While Partizan’s last European campaign came three years ago, that run looks set to get extended, considering their poor recent form, meaning the visitors should take a hard-fought win.
