Partizan preview: Saldanha to lead the line
Dorde Jovanovic missed last week's first-leg loss for Partizan and the attacker remains a doubt ahead of Wednesday's return fixture. Brazilian striker Matheus Saldanha scored twice last week and could provide cutting edge again.
Predicted lineup: A. Jovanovic (GK), De Medina, Markovic, Mujuakic, Antic, Arriaga, Young-Jun, Zahid, Severina, Kalulu, Saldanha

Player to watch – Denys Popov
No-nonsense centre-half Denys Popov is better known for his defensive acumen, though the 25-year-old made his presence felt in the opposition box last week when he scored Dynamo’s fifth goal against Partizan.
Popov tasked with marking Saldanha
Denys Popov is a rock-solid performer for Dynamo Kyiv at the back, though both he and his defensive counterparts were given a decent test by Partizan’s two-goal striker Matheus Saldanha. Popov will need to be at his best to thwart the Brazilian forward in the second leg.
