Charleroi (Bel) vs Partizan (Srb) Prediction & Betting tips
Charleroi and Partizan Belgrade meet in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. In an all-important duel led by the Scottish Bobby Madden, it will be fought which of the teams can compete against Apollon Limassol or Lech Poznan in-house.
Sporting Charleroi:
A somewhat weak start to the season resulted in Charleroi in the right-hand row for quite some time in the Jupiler Pro League last season. Karim Belhocine had to fight his way up and he succeeded. Ultimately, Charleroi would finish in third place, allowing De Zebras to secure a place in the third heat of the Europa League. A great performance by Belhocine, because Charleroi had not played a European game in the past five years. 36-year-old Guillaume Gillet returned to Belgium. Every week he starts in the black and white shirt and the ex-international has to bring the necessary experience for these kinds of duels to Charleroi. More than ten years ago, he played a Champions League preliminary round with this team and scored both at home and away against Partizan. Yet there was lost with penalties.
A defeat is not really in line with expectations for Charleroi. The Zebras perform very well and achieved a maximum score of 18 points from 6 games. Club Brugge, Royal Antwerp, Beerschot and Zulte Waregem, among others, were defeated. The Iranian striker Kaveh Rezaei in particular impresses, scoring five times in five games. However, there is a debate in the corridors whether the Europa League would be a valuable addition for Charleroi. Charleroi does not have an enormously wide selection and midweek matches might make the title chances a bit more difficult. One thing is certain, however; Belhocine’s team will do everything they can to survive this round.
Partizan Belgrade:
Partizan Belgrade has historically been one of Serbia’s greatest teams. Still, the team had a disappointing season last year. In the Europa League preliminary rounds, it defeated Connah’s Quay, Malatyaspor and Molde to qualify for the league. In a group with Manchester United, AZ and Astana, Savo Milošević’s team defeated only the latter. This adventure already ended after the group phase, but then it also did not make a fist in the competition against Red Star Belgrade. In the end they approached fourteen points, but when the cup final was also lost against Vojvodina, the season without prizes ended like a candle.
This year, Partizan started quite well in the Serbian Superliga. Twenty points were taken in the first five rounds and then it had to play against cup winner Vojvodina. Partizan’s number ten Seydouba Soumah was red in the first half. When the referee later failed to whistle for a foul by the opponent, the trainer went mad. Milošević went through and threw a water bottle at the referee. When he got red for the crazy action, he kicked another microphone. In the end it turned out to be his last game as a trainer, because shortly afterwards former trainer Aleksandar Stanojevic was appointed. He changed the line-up to a two-striker system and got a full score of three out of three. Umar Sadiq is Partizan’s greatest danger. The tall striker often has his sights on sharp.
