Betting Tip
After what UNA Strassen showed away from home, it is hard to expect even a draw from the Luxembourg side. They allowed their opponents to do far too much. The spaces were covered poorly, and passes into the forwards were allowed with no resistance at all. What Jeremy Deichelbohrer's men were doing when defending set pieces is anyone's guess. That was exactly how they conceded the fourth goal. They need to fight back, but it is hard to believe they will take control of the ball and produce even a 10-minute spell of total dominance. In Belgrade, the Luxembourg side managed just three off-target shots, and in the return match they will be without Edis Agovic, who received a straight red card in the 51st minute. And he is an experienced centre-back who is good with both feet and can also cover in midfield.
Partizan had built a sufficient advantage even before their opponents' sending-off: by that point they were already leading 2:0. So even with both teams at full strength, it will be hard for them not to win. UNA Strassen's players were not always sitting deep in the final third. Often they were simply on their own half. Sasa Ilic's men will have spaces to attack. Even if Jeh starts instead of Erik Kojzek, who scored one of the goals, they will be no less dangerous. Hardly anyone in the home side can match the players on Partizan's bench — their squad is worth 22 times less!
In this tie, despite the comfortable advantage they have already earned, it will be harder for Partizan not to win than to win, even if they put in only minimal effort.
