Partizan
- Partizan are unbeaten in 5 at home, winning 3 and drawing 2.
- Partizan are a much more attack-minded team under the direction of Saša Ilić, who also took over on 1 July 2026.
- His 4-2-3-1 approach is a press-heavy formation that can morph into a 3-4-3 to maintain the pressure.
- The Serbian giants are in mixed-to-strong form, as they are undefeated in their last 5, but with a lack of winning conviction with 2 wins and 3 draws.
UNA Strassen
- UNA Strassen are unbeaten in 5, winning 3 and drawing 2.
- UNA Strassen will face a stern test of their mettle in Belgrade when they take on Partizan in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 on Thursday.
- The visitors arrive in the Serbian capital unbeaten in their last 5 games after a 1-0 home win over Fiorita was followed up with a 2-0 away win in the return leg of their current qualifying tie.
- Jérémy Deichelbohrer, the Luxembourgish manager who took over on 1 July 2026, has transformed UNA into a compact, pragmatic and disciplined unit that is very hard to break down.
- They sit deep, block off the central channels, and play with a real togetherness in defence, particularly when playing with a two-line approach.
- Deichelbohrer's men are hotter than Partizan overall coming into this game (W6, D3, L1) and they travel well, posting a very respectable 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 on the road across all competitions.
Key Players
Nicolas Perez is UNA's key player, he is their top scorer with 2 goals in 2 UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 games , and he's red hot in general with 4 goals in the last 5 UNA games .
- Good pick in the anytime goalscorer market.
Betting Insights
- A Partizan win is the most likely result, but backing the home side in the moneyline seems too risky given the current momentum that UNA have and the fact that they are a very organised and tough to get at.
- Nicolas Perez is a good pick in the anytime goalscorer market, but don't expect the visitors to create enough chances to score on their own.
Prediction
- A 2-0 Partizan victory looks the most probable outcome as they are scoring an average of 2.00 goals per home game and conceding just 0.60 across all competitions this season.
- They showed their attacking teeth with a 5-0 home demolition of FK Radnik Surdulica last time out, but were then held to a 2-2 draw away to FK Zemun, highlighting the odd defensive lapse that can occur.
- Their front line is lively, but their coach is Saša Ilić, who has given the team more punch in the final third and more width and verticality than in recent seasons.
