On Thursday at 18:30, Partizan Belgrade is playing on the Connahs Quay field in the first round of the Preliminary Round 2 of the UEFA Europa League. The Connahs managed a big surprise in the previous round when they eliminated the Scottish team Kilmarnock with a victory away! The players were shocked by this result, but a new surprise is unlikely.
Obviously, the Serbs at Partizan are being put on guard by the last “betting” of the Welsh, so black and white will not underestimate their opponent on Thursday night. Belle Vue’s play has all the ingredients for an offensive show from guests who have great quality. The stadium on which the Thursday game will be played is organized on a neutral ground, because Connah’s arena does not meet the conditions required by UEFA, which is a disadvantage for the hosts. Without being pressed by the atmosphere in Wales, Partizan is a clear favorite to qualify.
In the previous round, Connahs lost his first hand on his own field, in front of Kilmarnock, 1-2, so the Scots were considered qualified. But the Welsh won by 2-0, after Wignall’s (50’s) and Morris (’80-pen.) Goals, which made the North Irish coach exclaim: “I have a real men team! We knew the world did not give us a chance to qualify, but we fought to the end and we knew all the time that we had a chance. ”
Partizan comes after a short win in the championship, 1-0 on the field of the Indjijia, but black and white have not used too much in this game, being very focused on the goal of qualification in the Europa League. A comfortable victory seems logical on Thursday evening.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,68
