08/26/2026 1371

A two-goal task with European consequences sets the stage in Belgrade. Getafe arrive with a 3-1 cushion from the first leg, while Partizan lean on a proven home record to stretch this playoff to the limit. Styles contrast, margins matter, and small details could swing the night.

Key Points

• Getafe lead 3-1 after striking twice late in Madrid despite finishing the first leg with 10 men.
• Partizan enter the return leg in turmoil, with Saša Ilić set to remain in charge only for this tie after offering his resignation.
• Enes Ünal has scored in back-to-back games since returning to Getafe, including the opener in the first leg and the winner against Racing Santander.
• Abdel Abqar is suspended for Getafe after his red card in Madrid, while Christantus Uche remains out after serious knee surgery.
• Final outcome probability: Getafe win 52%. Prediction: Partizan 1-2 Getafe.

Previous encounter

Getafe’s 3-1 win in the first leg told a clear story. José Bordalás’ side controlled 61% possession, outshot Partizan 12 to 8 and placed 5 efforts on target to 1. They also produced 70 dangerous attacks to 22, which underpinned territorial authority.

Enes Ünal opened on 9 minutes, Demba Seck briefly pulled Partizan level on 43, then Getafe finished stronger with Andrés García on 87 and Johan Mojica on 90. The late surge now forces Partizan to chase at least a two-goal margin to level the aggregate, although Partizan did create chances after Abqar’s 68th-minute red card.

Recent Form

Partizan’s last six in all competitions show 2 wins, 0 draws and 4 losses, averaging 1.33 scored and 1.67 conceded. At home in their last three they are 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses, but with brighter numbers in chance creation at 21.33 shots and 6.33 on target on average.

Getafe are trending cleaner after following the first-leg win with a 1-0 La Liga victory over Racing Santander. Over their last six they have 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses, with 1.33 scored and just 1.0 conceded per match. Their control metrics are modest at 47.83% possession and 7.5 shots per game, yet their efficiency has been the separator.

Overall Performance

Partizan’s broader home sample is robust. Across their last 40 home matches in all competitions they have 24 wins, scoring 1.98 and conceding 0.88 on average. They kept 12 clean sheets in the last 30 at home, reinforcing an ability to manage games in Belgrade.

Getafe’s last 15 in all competitions feature 8 wins with 1.0 scored and 0.87 conceded per match. Away from home they have 4 clean sheets in their last 10, though their last 8 away games include 50% losses, which signals vulnerability when pressed.

Main Trends

Partizan have not been defeated in 12 of their last 15 home matches in all competitions. In the Conference League specifically, they have won 6 of their last 12 home games, keeping 5 clean sheets and winning by 2 or more goals in 6 of those 12. They are also undefeated in 5 of their last 6 Conference League matches overall.

Countering that, current momentum is a concern for the hosts with three straight losses and winless in 3 in all competitions. There is also a wider pressure point around the club: Ilić is expected to leave after this match and the board has also taken responsibility for the poor start. Getafe’s away profile is balanced by resilience and risk: 4 clean sheets in 10 away matches, but also 4 losses in their last 8 away fixtures.

Team News and Probable Lineups

Partizan are expected to stay aggressive under Saša Ilić, with Miloš Krunić likely to return in goal and Demba Seck hard to leave out after scoring in Madrid and again at Mladost Lučani. Chaka Traorè and Erik Kojzek offer pace and penalty-box presence, while Igor Miladinović and Milan Aleksić add running from midfield. Likely formation: Partizan 4-3-3.

Partizan

Goalkeeper: Miloš Krunić

Defenders: Samson Nwulu, Stefan Milić, Stefan Mitrović, Mateja Milovanović

Midfielders: Ognjen Ugrešić, Milan Aleksić, Igor Miladinović

Attackers: Demba Seck, Erik Kojzek, Chaka Traorè

Getafe remain without Christantus Uche after knee surgery and Juanmi is also unavailable. Abqar’s suspension should bring Saba Sazonov into the back three, while Andrés García has a strong case to start at right wing-back after scoring in the first leg and assisting Ünal’s weekend winner. Ünal’s immediate impact since rejoining has changed Getafe’s attacking outlook, and Mojica, Francho Serrano and Orel Mangala have quickly become important to Bordalás’ 3-5-2.

Getafe

Goalkeeper: David Soria

Defenders: Dakonam Djené, Saba Sazonov, Zaid Romero

Midfielders: Andrés García, Orel Mangala, Francho Serrano, Ramón Terrats, Johan Mojica

Attackers: Enes Ünal, Martín Satriano

Overall Performance

In the Conference League, Partizan’s longer arc shows 50% wins across their last 22 matches, averaging 1.36 for and 1.09 against, with home strength marked by 6 wins and 5 clean sheets in the last 12. That platform contrasts with Getafe’s pragmatic edge, which was evident in the first leg’s late game management.

Prediction

Partizan’s need to chase could open lanes for Getafe’s forwards, particularly with Ünal’s timing and Mojica’s width. The hosts carry enough home thrust to score, but Getafe’s structure, recent response and two-goal cushion tilt it their way. Final outcome probability: Getafe win 52%. Prediction: Partizan 1-2 Getafe.
