Sly Getafe can steal the march
Getafe's win over Partizan in the last head-to-head of UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 has given Pepe Bordalás' side a huge advantage in this tie and they look the most likely to advance, even in Serbia. The hosts will need to be on top form to get back into the tie after the 3-1 defeat Getafe secured in the reverse fixture. Saša Ilić has taken charge of Partizan only recently and seems to been setting up in a positive manner – but is ready to revert to a back five against more sturdy opponents.
Partizan will try to play with tempo and width on Thursday, but Getafe will look to clog up the space, win the turnover battles and use their strength to go on fast breaks.
Partizan have a solid home form
Betting odds
So this game looks like a knife-edge affair, and it is – but the betting odds make Getafe a 1.75 favorite. Partizan Belgrade are 4.15 to win, while the draw is 3.9, which seems extremely optimistic for the home side in what will be a tense game.
Recent form
Partizan will be up for this clash, but their form has been a bit up and down lately with six wins, one draw and three defeats in their last 10 matches in all competitions. Getafe's form is similar across all contests with four wins, two draws and four defeats in their last 10 and, like Partizan, they are hard to place in terms of quality.
Getafe can get a result in Belgrade
Getafe have one win, two draws and four losses from seven away in all comps this season, and this game will be tense, so we are going for Under 2.5 goals at 1.98 and Both Teams To Score – No at 1.95 as our top two picks.
- A low-scoring, cagey affair with the visitors shading it seems the most likely script, and Getafe's compact 4-4-2 system, which is built on duels and pressing, looks the best fit to win this battle.
- Zubairu Ibrahim, who has scored three goals in three games in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, is Partizan's danger man while Andres Garcia has given Getafe an early boost in this competition with one goal in one game.
- Partizan have been resilient at home with three wins from five, conceding just three goals, so a 1-1 draw could be the final score, but Getafe's blunt away record means 0-1 is marginally more likely.
