Partizan preview: Hoping to save the season with a win over biggest rivals
Things at Partizan have been spiraling out of control since the start of the season and we already saw them change their head coach and sporting director, bringing back familiar names to both positions – Aleksandar Stanojevic and Ivica Iliev, respectively.
When it comes to results, Partizan have been eliminated from the qualifiers for Champions League, Europa League, and finally, Europa Conference League. On top of that, they have failed to win in their last three Super Liga matches and are already eight points behind Red Star in the standings, although with a game in hand.
Predicted lineup: Jovanovic (GK), Ilic, Filipovic, Mujakic, Jurcevic, Kovac, Zahid, Kalulu, Natcho, Goh & Ibrahim
