Partizan Belgrade – Getafe Preview – Can Partizan pull off the great escape?
Partizan Belgrade have one night to fix what went wrong in Madrid. Getafe left the Estadio Coliseum with a two-goal cushion from this Conference League play-off first leg, and Stadion Partizana now has to host a genuine escape act if Serbian football wants a team in this season’s league phase. That’s the shape of our Partizan Belgrade vs Getafe betting tips for the second leg, kicking off on 27 August at 19:00 GMT.

Call this one evenly matched on paper and lopsided on the scoreboard. Getafe do not need to be the better side over ninety minutes, they just need to avoid a hammering, and our first-leg preview covers exactly how they built that cushion. Partizan have no such luxury. They have to score, then score again, while defending a Getafe side that breaks on the counter as well as anyone in the middle of La Liga.
Partizan Belgrade – Getafe Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Partizan Belgrade to win
Partizan have to attack from the first whistle, and they are doing it against a Getafe defence carrying real fitness question marks in Martin, Mojica and two centre-backs short of match sharpness. A home win in this leg is the bare minimum for any hope of a comeback, and Partizan have the attacking intent and the crowd to get it on the night.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals
Chasing three goals changes how a team defends. Partizan will push numbers forward and leave gaps in behind, and a Getafe side built to break at pace will take those chances rather than sit back and protect a lead they already banked in Madrid. Stretch a game like that and goals tend to arrive at both ends. Have a look at the latest match odds before kickoff, because a game this open can move quickly.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
Unal is the man to watch here. He is fighting for his place and has exactly the profile to punish the stretched, high-line defending Partizan will be forced into as they chase the tie. Partizan should get their goals given the size of the task in front of them, but do not expect Getafe to leave Belgrade with a clean sheet, not with a forward like that waiting on the counter.
Getafe’s defence carries its own doubts
Getafe have built their identity on exactly this kind of game: stay compact and pick the right moment to break. But the squad available for this trip is not at full strength. Mario Martin missed the first leg with a quad problem, Juanmi remains sidelined long-term, and Johan Mojica has barely featured all season, so his sharpness is a real question mark. Djene and Abqar are back from their own muscle issues, each managing only a half in a recent friendly against Tenerife, which is hardly ideal preparation for an away crowd baying for goals.
Going the other way, Enes Unal gives Getafe a different attacking option after returning to the club this month. He came off the bench in a league defeat to Alaves and is pushing for a first start against Partizan, which matters against a back line that will be pushed high and exposed.
Partizan’s warning signs
The concerning part for the home crowd is that Partizan were already stumbling before this tie began. A league loss to Radnički 1923 landed just days ahead of the first leg, hardly the ideal platform before facing a well-organised Spanish side. Belgrade will be loud and the crowd will push the team forward, but atmosphere alone will not unpick a compact defence. Partizan got themselves here by coming through their qualifying round meeting with Tobol Kostanay, yet Getafe look a sterner, better-drilled test than anything Partizan have faced in Europe this summer.
What to expect
There is no obvious favourite over ninety minutes here, only a huge gap in the context each side carries into it. Getafe can play with the aggregate lead in their pocket and let Partizan take the risks, and our reading of this one leans toward chaos rather than control: goals for the home side as they push forward, and goals for Getafe as they punish the space left behind. If you want our main tip for the second leg, it’s Partizan to win the night while still conceding at the other end, an open finish to a tie that already looks settled on paper but is far from over on the pitch.
