Partizan are set to finish at the bottom of their Conference League group, which is not surprising given their struggles in this competition. While Gent have also had their challenges, their record of 10 wins in their last 17 home matches indicates they should have the edge in this matchup.
Gent’s recent games in the Conference League have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with eight of their last 10 matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Similarly, 13 of Partizan’s last 17 away games at this level have also seen fewer than three goals, so expecting a high-scoring game here might lead to disappointment.
Since qualifying for the Conference League, Gent have played four matches, three of which have resulted in clean sheets. This trend is mirrored by Partizan, who have seen clean sheets in seven of their last nine top-flight games. It would be surprising if this match strays from that pattern.
Gent have been unbeaten in their last 16 home matches in the Conference League, winning 12 of them, which should give them confidence going into this game. In contrast, Partizan have struggled on the road, losing four of their last six away games and only securing ten points out of a possible 25.
Prediction: Gent 1 : 0 Partizan
