There are not many intersections between the two clubs when Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade face each other in the Europa League on Thursday. Well, Partizan’s Zoran Tosic has played for the Red Devils for a year and a half, but only played five games for the English in that period.
Manchester United vs Partizan Belgrade Soccer Betting Tips
The Serb has not left much acquaintance in England. This also applies to Savo Milosevic. The Partizan coach has played for several years in the Premier League, but more than various duels against Manchester United have not jumped out. The personal touch plays therefore only a minor role in this duel.
More interesting is the sporty aspect. Manchester leads the group L classification with seven points from three games. Alkmaar with five points and Partizan Belgrade with four points should fight for second place in the sixteenth finals. Astana are still without a point and will probably say goodbye to the group stage from the Europa League.
The starting position in the table means that Manchester would already be in the next round with a home win. The goal can not be anything else, even if the second division of the European Cup, at least at this time of the competition, is rather an unloved stepchild for the top teams from the Premier League.
Nevertheless, in the match between Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade, the prediction goes clearly towards a home win. Even if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is more likely to play the second guard, the English should be clearly favored. In addition, all statistics speak for a victory of the Red Devils.
Therefore, before the match between Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade, we can not avoid a tip for a successful evening for the English team. The only question is how this tip will look like.
Manchester United – Statistics & Current Form
It is not the season of Manchester United so far. The Red Devils have already lost the connection to the four places for the Champions League in the English House of Lords after eleven matchdays. The team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has just collected 13 points, which puts them in tenth place. No wonder that the financially strong Englishmen already plan a transfer offensive in the winter.
While it does not look good in the Premier League, it has been performing well in the Europa League for years. Manchester has not lost in the last ten home games in this competition. Overall, a series of 14 games without defeat in the Europa League to book. In the group stage, there were only victories at Old Trafford.
In addition to Sevilla FC, Manchester are the only team without conceding in the Europa League this season. With the final won in 2017 United has been without conceding for four games. That should be an indication that in the duel between Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade take the odds on a zero victory of the Englishman under the magnifying glass.
After three league wins in a row, United suffered another setback last weekend in the Premier League. At AFC Bournemouth Manchester lost 1-0. The team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fell behind with the half-time whistle 0: 1. Despite a visual superiority ManUtd could give the game no positive turn.
Of course, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is criticized because of the weak start of the season. However, that does not mean that the Norwegian has to fear for his job.
“Solskjaer remains coach at Manchester United.” – Ed Woodward
United boss Ed Woodward expressed confidence in his coach after the defeat at Bournemouth. Apparently, everyone knows that the squad is currently not much more.
This is also because the hospital is filled up with the Red Devils. Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe, Luka Shaw, Diego Dalot, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Paul Pogba are no less than six potential regulars. Nevertheless, a rotation is expected on Thursday against Belgrade, which could flush some other players from the second guard into the starting lineup.
Expected lineup of Manchester United:
➱ Romero – Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Jones, Williams – Garner, McTomay – James, Lingard, Rashford – Greenwood
➱ Coach: Solskjaer

Partizan Belgrade – Statistics & Current Form
Not as disappointing as Manchester United, Partizan did not start the season, but the chances of scoring the national championship out of local rivals have already dropped to a minimum. Savo Milosevic’s team has a good 29 points after 14 rounds of play, but Crvena Zvezda’s top ten are already missing. At the moment this is enough for fourth place.
The goals in the Europa League seem to be more accessible at the moment. The semi-finals are possible, but an away win would be very helpful. However, Partizan Belgrade have won only three of the 16 away games in the group stage of the Europa League, all of them starting with A (Astana, Alkmaar, Augsburg). Unfortunately, from the Serbian point of view, it is not going to “Anchester” now.
Overall, the form of Partizan is manageable at the moment. In the last five games, Savo Milosevic’s side have suffered three defeats including Manchester but also Cukaricki and Mladost Lucani. That does not sound like the duel between Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade has anything to do with the Serbs’ success.
After all, there was a bright spot last Saturday, when you could prevail at home against Vojvodina Novi Sad smoothly 4-0. Shortly after the break, the pursuit duel of the Serbian League was decided. Bibras Natcho with a double and Sasa Zdjelar got a clear 3-0 lead. Umar Sadiq relinquished the 4-0 on 20 minutes left.
Swiftly, Savo Milosevic’s gaze moved towards the match in England. In the first leg, the Serbs had played relatively well, but were at the end with empty hands.
“I think we can play worse if we get a better result than in the first leg.” – Savo Milosevic
On Thursday, the coach of the guests would like to change the course. A worse game in which at least one point is retracted in the end, he would be very right.
Personally, the Serbs will travel to Manchester with almost full chapel. The only failure Partizan has to endure is Lazar Markovic, who fails with adductor complaints. The former Serbian international, who was hired as an unemployed player in September, has hardly been able to help his team this season anyway.
Expected formation of Partizan Belgrade:
➱ Stojkovic – Urosevic, Pavlovic, Ostojic, Miletic – Tosic, Natcho, Zdjelar, Soumah – Asano, Sadiq
➱ Coach: Milosevic
Last matches from Partizan Belgrade:
⚽️ 02.11.2019 – Partizan Belgrade vs. Vojvodina Novi Sad 4: 0 (Super League)

Manchester United vs Partizan Belgrade Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights

Manchester United vs Partizan Belgrade Soccer Betting Tips
Of course, Manchester United is the clear favorite in the duel against Partizan. The bookmakers only offer a home win odds of up to 1.42. Nevertheless, one must always be warned by the English in the Europa League. Especially in the group phase, not all stars are used. Something similar is also expected from United on Thursday.
Nevertheless, ManUtd has not lost in the Europa League for 14 games. In addition, the English have conceded in this competition for four games no goal more, while Partizan could win just three of 16 away games in the group stage. That sounds like the duel between Manchester United and Partizan Belgrade is just the tip for a home win.
