Partizan lost the first meeting in Cyprus. It was only 1-0 for the home team, and we say only because AEK had at least three or four chances to score. This will be a very important matchup for both units because it is their first international appearance of the year, and an elimination would be a huge bust.
Partizan Belgrade News
The home team is in trouble, as their management failed to make any notable moves in the transfer window. This team has been under intense political pressure over the last few years, and its operations are conducted in harsh conditions.
Right now, Partizan plays with several youngsters, and the last game saw them start with 8 players under 23 years. They have a certain quality, yet are inexperienced, and that’s quite noticeable in the back line. The defense fell apart in Cyprus, yet luck was with the black and whites.

The Cypriot team has had three club friendly events this summer, and all three ended with both teams netting and with over 2.5 goals. They like to play open and offensive football.
