The return leg of the Conference League qualification tie finds Partizan Belgrade in a deeply precarious position. In Madrid, the Serbian outfit held a promising 1-1 draw deep into the match and even enjoyed a numerical advantage, only to collapse spectacularly in the dying minutes, conceding twice. Now, the Belgrade side must take considerable risks on home soil, while Getafe can afford to manage their two-goal cushion with tactical intelligence.
Tactical Analysis: Partizan's Alarming Decline
Partizan is navigating a severe downturn in form. The club has suffered three consecutive defeats across all competitions, falling to Radnički 1923 (0-1), Getafe (1-3), and Mladost (1-3). Domestically, the team has lost three league matches in a row, plummeting to 12th place out of 14 teams in the Serbian SuperLiga. What makes the situation particularly worrying is the recurring pattern: against both Radnički 1923 and Getafe, Partizan played with a man advantage yet still conceded goals and lost. Following the most recent league defeat, the crisis escalated to a personnel level—head coach Saša Ilić submitted his resignation but, at the club's request, agreed to lead the team through this crucial return fixture against Getafe.
The Madrid encounter was especially painful to dissect. After Abkar's red card in the 68th minute, Partizan had a golden opportunity to preserve the 1-1 scoreline or even snatch victory. Instead, the team completely unraveled in the final stretch, shipping goals in the 87th and 90th minutes. In stoppage time, Kojzek had a chance to reduce the deficit but somehow missed from point-blank range. What had been a reasonably competitive match transformed into a two-goal defeat—a margin that now seems almost insurmountable.
Yet Partizan clearly hasn't conceded the tie is over. This determination was evident in the lineup for the recent league match against Mladost. Compared to the Madrid game, Ilić rested or gave limited minutes to eight first-team regulars. Even with their domestic campaign in turmoil, the coaching staff consciously managed player workloads ahead of this return fixture. The Serbs essentially sacrificed a league match to keep their key players fresh—a clear signal that the team intends to fight back from the 1-3 deficit at home.
Tactical Analysis: Getafe's Late-Game Resilience
Getafe's start to the season has been mixed. In La Liga's opening round, José Bordalás's side suffered a heavy defeat to Alavés (0-3). Notably, all three goals came after the 73rd minute, and the Madrid side had been reduced to ten men early in the first half. However, they responded with two consecutive victories—against Partizan (3-1) and Racing Santander (1-0). Both matches were decided in the closing stages: the Serbs conceded twice after the 87th minute, while Ünal's winner against Racing arrived in the 81st. The Turkish striker has scored in both fixtures, establishing himself as a key figure in this run.
These wins were far from straightforward. Against Partizan, Getafe played nearly 25 minutes with a numerical disadvantage, and against Racing, they ceded control after halftime and could have conceded a penalty, only for Soria to make a crucial save. Both matches revealed the team's character. Bordalás's men don't collapse under pressure—they endure, absorb, and then strike late, a formula that has already paid dividends twice.
In Belgrade, Getafe can revert to their preferred style. With a 3-1 lead, there's no need to push forward constantly. They can surrender possession, defend compactly, and hunt for opportunities on the counterattack. This approach suits them well, though there is a potential concern: Bordalás barely rotated his squad for the La Liga match, meaning accumulated fatigue could become a factor. The onus will be on Partizan to take risks, which should gradually open up space for the visitors. The only notable absence is Abkar, suspended after his red card, but this shouldn't pose a major problem—the defender didn't start against Racing, and the team kept their first clean sheet of the season.
Predicted Lineups
Partizan (3-4-3): Milošević – Milić, Mitrović, Simić – Roganović, Bamba, Ugrešić, Nwulu – Sek, Džekh, Vukotić
Out: Jurčević, Kostić (both injured), Trifunović (doubtful)
Head Coach: Saša Ilić
Getafe (3-5-2): Soria – Sazonov, Djené, Romero – Femenía, Terrats, Mangała, Francho, Mojica – Ünal, Satriano
Out: Abkar (suspended), Uche, Juanmi (both injured), Martín (doubtful)
Head Coach: José Bordalás
The Referee: Urs Schnyder (Switzerland)
In seven European matches last season, Schnyder averaged approximately 3.33 yellow cards per game. Notably, he awarded five penalties across those fixtures, a relatively high number. In Conference League matches specifically, he tended to call fouls more frequently—averaging 24.67 per game compared to 21 in the Europa League and 21.33 in the Champions League. This season, the Swiss official has already worked one Europa League fixture, recording 27 fouls but issuing only a single yellow card. Schnyder is not the type of referee to brandish cards at every minor contact.
Prediction and Bet
Main Prediction: Getafe to Win at 2.25
Partizan, trailing 3-1 on aggregate, will have to push forward from the opening whistle and take risks—a scenario that plays directly into Getafe's hands. Bordalás's side can cede possession to the hosts and exploit the resulting space on quick transitions. The gulf in quality was already evident in Madrid: even down to ten men from the 68th minute, the Spanish side not only held their ground but scored twice in the closing stages. Factor in the hosts' current form—Partizan has lost three consecutive matches—and the picture becomes clear. Superior individual quality and a counterattacking-friendly script give the Madrid side excellent chances of winning in Belgrade as well.
Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 at 1.72
Despite Partizan's need to overturn a two-goal deficit, expecting an open, end-to-end affair for the full 90 minutes is unrealistic. Getafe is perfectly content with the first-leg result, so Bordalás's men may deliberately slow the tempo, defend deep, and avoid forcing attacks. The Serbs, meanwhile, have struggled recently against packed defenses—against Radnički 1923 (0-1), they played with a man advantage for nearly an hour yet failed to score. If the Madrid side prevents an early home goal, the match could settle into the kind of tight, controlled contest that suits the visitors.

Predictions for Partizan vs Getafe
This Conference League clash between Partizan and Getafe will be settled in the first half. Goals are a given, so I'm backing Over 1.5 in the opening 45 minutes at 2.98.
Partizan hosts Getafe in the second leg of the Conference League qualifiers, and the dynamics of this matchup are clear to me. Getafe has had a disastrous start to their La Liga campaign, getting thrashed by Alaves on opening day, but their European form tells a different story—they scored three goals at home against Partizan in the first leg. With that healthy lead, Getafe's priority today will be to sit back and protect their advantage, especially with a tough away game against Osasuna looming in a few days.
I expect Partizan to dominate possession and push forward, but they struggled to break down Getafe even at home last time and lost by a significant margin.
