Hibernian will take on Partizan Belgrade on Thursday, 14 August, in the second leg of their Europa Conference League third qualifying.
The hosts come into the match in control of the tie, following a 2-0 win in Serbia last week but they won't be counting their chickens just yet.
Hibs' victory in Belgrade was considered a shock, and the Scottish side were helped by Partizan going down to ten men in the first half.

Hibernian vs Partizan prediction: Partizan to make life difficult
Key stats
- Hibernian have won just two of their last five home European matches.
- Partizan have won their last three away matches in all competitions.
- Fewer than three goals have been scored in all three of Hibernian's European matches this season.
Correct score prediction: Hibernian 1-1 Partizan
Even when Partizan were down to ten men last week, they still created as many chances as Hibs, which tells us they are more than capable of winning this match if they can keep 11 men on the pitch. We've opted for a 1-1 draw as Partizan's desperation will result in chances for His in transition.

- HOME: 21/20 (2.05) – 48.8%
- DRAW: 27/10 (3.70) – 27%
- AWAY: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

Player to watch: Jamie McGrath
Jamie McGrath is one of the players who has been signed by Hibernian this summer, but unlike some of their recruits, there won't be a bedding-in period for the midfielder due to the fact he knows Scottish football like the back of his hand after spells at St Mirren, Dundee Utd and Aberdeen. McGrath was brilliant against Kilmarnock at the weekend and will want to bring that form into Thursday night.
