Partizan have one win and one draw so far in Europe League. They beat Astana with 2:1 and played a 2:2 draw with AZ Alkmaar. Partizan and Manchester United are sharing the first place in Group L. Both sides have four points, but the Serbian outfit have better goal-difference in terms of scored goals. Considering this fact, I expect an interesting match in Belgrade. Partizan have the home advantage and this fact should not be underestimated - they have lost just once as hosts this season, a surprise 2:1 defeat to Vozdovac in domestic Super League. It is worth mentioning that Partizan beat city rivals Crvena Zvezda in the Eternal derby. Seydouba Soumah and Zoran Tosic scored the goals for the Black and White. Coach Savo Milosevic is doing an excellent job and I believe the fans are satisfied with the latest results. A positive outcome against Manchester United will be a huge success for the coach and players. Milosevic has almost all players available for this match, only Lazar Markovic is out due to injury. The former Liverpool player has an abductor problem that will keep him sidelined until January.
Manchester United also have four points after first two matches. They won 1:0 against Astana thanks to Mason Greenwood's goal in the second half, while played a goalless draw with AZ Alkmaar. Nevertheless, manager Ole Gunar Solskjaer is under big pressure, as well as the players. The reason is domestic form. The Red Devils are on the 13th place, massive 15 points behind league leaders. United played a home 1:1 draw with Liverpool during the weekend and many pundits were satisfy with the performance. Of course, that match gave some relief to the Norvegian, however the next period is crucial, starting from this match. Man United desperately need victory and Solskjaer is well aware about that fact. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Anthony Martial returned after both missed the Sunday's derby. They are in contention to play in Belgrade as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer need to rotate his squad. Jesse Lingard are also available, but some important players didn't travel to Serbia. Paul Pogba has missed the last three matches with an ankle injury and remain out. The Frenchman is in a race to be fit for Sunday's clash with Norwich City in the Premier League. David de Gea had been expected to miss United's match with Liverpool after injuring his groin on international duty with Spain, but played a full 90 minutes at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, he will be rested now. Defenders Axel Tuanzebe and Diogo Dalot are not in the squad having both suffered knocks. Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic are also out injured, while Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah remain long-term absentees.
Partizan vs Manchester United Prediction:
As I wrote above, this should be an interesting match, however I expect a low scoring game. The key reason for my pick is connect with the guests. Manchester United are yet to concede in Europe League, while scored just once in first two rounds. The Red Devils are likely to dominate possession but they will have a problem to break down Partizan's well organized defense. Don't forget the Serbian outfit are very good at home.
