- UNA Strassen are unbeaten in 5 (W3, D2), winning their last 2 in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
- Partizan are unbeaten in 5 (W2, D3).
Belgrade's big stage
This looks like a major style matchup between Saša Ilić's Partizan Belgrade and Jérémy Deichelbohrer's UNA Strassen on Thursday at the Stadion FK Partizan in Serbia, and the Partizan Belgrade vs UNA Strassen preview points to a fascinating tactical battle. Ilić was appointed by Partizan on 1 July 2026, while Deichelbohrer was appointed by UNA on the same day.
Ilić is a more attack-minded coach than Deichelbohrer, who has UNA sitting deep, blocking the center of the field and looking to catch opponents on the counter attack or on set pieces. Ilić has been more attack-minded with Partizan, who have looked more vertical and wide in his system, with the 4-2-3-1 formation morphing into a 3-4-3 at times, making their press even more intense.
Partizan have won 4 of their last 10 across all competitions and drawn 5 of their previous 10, losing once. UNA have won 6 of their 10, drawn 3 and lost once, so the visitors have been the better of the two teams in recent months, although they have had an easier schedule than Partizan.
Hosts have the firepower to break through
Partizan have been unbeaten in their last 5 games, and their most recent league results have been a 5-0 home win over FK Radnik Surdulica and a 2-2 away draw with FK Zemun.
The 5-0 rout showed how this Partizan team can open up a game quickly when the press works and their front-line is at its best. The 2-2 draw showed that there are still some cracks in the backline that need to be fixed.
UNA have been much the same away from home as they have at their own place, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, so we won't expect any major changes in the away team's approach from the visit to Serbia.
The most likely winner of this game will be the home side, but the momentum is currently with the visitors and they should be able to keep this game competitive by keeping it tight in their own half and not conceding too many openings for Partizan's wings to exploit.
Our main wager will be for Partizan to win and under 4.5 goals to be scored in the match, as we think the Serbian team will control this fixture, but UNA's defensive solidity should ensure that it is not a blowout. For those looking for Partizan Belgrade vs UNA Strassen betting tips, that combination stands out as the safest angle.
Nicolas Perez has been in fine form for UNA, netting 2 of their 2 goals in the 2nd Qualifying Round, while he also has 4 in his last 5 appearances for the club, which have seen them score 7 times. So we will take Perez to score anytime against Partizan.
Partizan Belgrade vs UNA Strassen prediction: the hosts look set to have enough quality to edge the contest, even if UNA make life awkward for long spells.
Partizan Belgrade vs UNA Strassen prediction: the best value appears to be a home win with a low-scoring game.
