The 1st legs of the 2nd qualifying round in the Europa League continue on Thursday night and our next fixture features a clash between Welsh side, Connah’s Quay, and Serbian outfit, Partizan Belgrade, as the betting tips continue at the Deeside College Stadium.
Connah’s Quay Prediction – Can Connah’s Quay take something from 1st leg?
The Welsh Premier League side registered one of the shocks of the previous round of this season’s Europa League.
Connah’s Quay recorded a memorable comeback in the 2nd leg of the previous round to beat Kilmarnock 3-2 on aggregate.
The hosts knocked the Scottish Premier League outfit out of the Europa League despite finding themselves 2-1 down after the 1st leg in Wales.
However, a 2-0 win at Rugby Park was enough to see them through to this 2nd qualifying round tie with Serbian giants, Partizan Belgrade.
Whether Connah’s Quay can replicate their giant-killing act in this two-legged clash remains to be seen but they surely stand a chance at home on Thursday night.
That said, results at home haven’t exactly been the most impressive as Connah’s Quay have won just 1 of their last 5 matches overall on home turf.
And even though they’ve won just 1 of their 5 home ties in the Europa League, they’ve avoided a heavy defeat so far in this competition.
Connah’s Quay haven’t been beaten by more than 2 goals at home in the Europa League to date.
Partizan Prediction – Can Partizan take lead back to Belgrade?
Serbian club, Partizan Belgrade must surely fancy their chances of progressing through to the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League.
It’s been a largely successful pre-season for the visitors as they’ve won 3 of their 6 warm-up matches with wins over Zvijezda, Beltinci and Bordeaux.
The visitors also made a good start to their new domestic Serbian top flight campaign with a 1-0 win away at Indija.
Partizan Belgrade now face what could be a tricky two-legged tie against the Welsh Premier League club who have already ruffled a few feathers in the competition.
With just 1 defeat out of their last 9 away matches though, the odds seem to be heavily in Partizan’s favour ahead of this 1st leg in Wales.
6 wins from these 9 away matches in all competitions place Partizan in the driving seat to progress to the next round of the Europa League.
Overall results have been solid at this level for Partizan who have lost just 1 of their last 8 matches in the Europa League.
That defeat was to Besiktas and they’ve managed just 3 wins on the road from their last 10 matches in this competition – with just 2 of these 10 matches winning by a margin of 3 goals or more.
Key-Facts – Connah’s Quay v Partizan
- Connah’s Quay knocked out Kilmarnock in the previous round of the EL
- Connah’s Quay haven’t been beaten by more than 2 goals at home in the Europa League
- Partizan have won just 3 of their last 10 away ties in the Europa League
Betting Tips Verdict
