Partizan Belgrade are having a disappointing season by their own standards, as they have won only one of their first five league matches for the first time since the Serbian SuperLiga was established 20 seasons ago.
To be fair, the hosts had an impressive start to their UEFA Conference League qualifying campaign, as they won both legs of their previous two ties. However, after losing the first leg of this tie, Sasa Ilic’s troops have a two-goal deficit to overturn.
It is worth mentioning that Partizan have not qualified for a UEFA club competition since the 2022/23 season, and they lost their last two Conference League play-off ties.
On the positive side, the hosts have a clean bill of health ahead of this skirmish. Winger Demba Seck is expected to lead the attack after scoring the team's only goal in the first leg, with key midfielders Milan Roganovic and Milan Vukotic also expected to start.
Unlike their opponents, Getafe are brimming with confidence ahead of this fixture, as they followed their 3-1 victory over Partizan with a hard-fought 1-0 win against Racing Santander last weekend.
The visitors are eyeing their first-ever appearance in the Conference League. Their last outing in a UEFA club competition was during the 2019/20 Europa League season.
Head coach Jose Bordalas will not be able to call upon the services of injured forwards Christantus Uche (ACL) and Juanmi (knee). Centre-back Abdelkabir Abqar is also suspended for this clash due to his sending-off in the first leg.
Enes Unal has found the net in Getafe's last two matches and is expected to pair with Martin Satriano, who had two late assists in the first leg, in attack.
Wing-back Johan Mojica is also expected to start, as the Colombian was impressive in his debut against Partizan last week, registering a goal and an assist.

Whispers Predicts: Partizan 1-2 Getafe
At 5/4 (2.25), Getafe are considered favourites by the bookmakers.
Partizan Belgrade have lost three consecutive matches across all competitions, despite being the clear favourites in two of them, and we believe that their woes will continue with another defeat.
We should also expect a card-fest, as five or more cards were awarded in five of Partizan's last six fixtures, while Getafe's last eight competitive away matches have produced a total of eight red cards.
Furthermore, the hosts have conceded first in five of their last six games, so Getafe to score first at 5/6 (1.83) should be worth a punt.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 11/10 (2.10) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 17/20 (1.85) | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Getafe at 5/4 (2.25) | Likelihood: Probable
> Getafe & BTTS – Yes at 37/10 (4.70) | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct Score: 1-2 at 81/10 (9.10) | Likelihood: Outsider
