Partizan are expected to finish last in their Conference League group, which isn’t surprising given their struggles in the competition.
While Gent have faced their own challenges, their solid record of 10 wins in their last 17 home games suggests they have the upper hand in this encounter.
Recent matches for Gent in the Conference League have typically been low-scoring, with eight of their last 10 games featuring under 2.5 goals. Similarly, 13 of Partizan’s last 17 away games in this competition have also seen fewer than three goals, so a high-scoring affair seems unlikely.
Since qualifying for the Conference League, Gent have played four games, three of which ended in clean sheets. Partizan has also seen clean sheets in seven of their last nine top-tier matches. It would be surprising if this game deviated from that trend.
Prediction
Gent’s unbeaten streak of 16 home matches in the Conference League, with 12 wins, should boost their confidence going into this fixture. On the other hand, Partizan have struggled away from home, losing four of their last six away games and earning only 10 points out of a possible 25.
Prediction: Gent 1 : 0 Partizan
