FK Partizan Beograd - Rudar Pljevlja    (won)

First round in qualifications for Europa League - Partizan won in Niksic last week 3:0 against Rudar. Everything is clear here and Partizan will pass to next phase for sure. This is the main reason for this bet because I don't expect from Rudar to park the bus in front of their goal here and I expect one game for an audience.

This summer Partizan sold their top scorer from last season Tawamba but they have a replacement for him - they signed Portugal Segunda top scorer from last season (Ricardo Gomes,24 goals for Nacional). In my opinion, he is a player who Partizan needs more in attack because he is goal machine, Tawamba wasn't that. In the first game, he scored goal with shoot which came from around 20m and I really like him. Their new players also are Enache (from Rubin Kazan,Romanian NT player), Marc Valiente (from Eupen, as youngster played in Barcelona) and Nemanja Nikolic (from Spartak Subotica, their best player last year). Nikolic won't be able to play here because he is injured. They saved other important players from last year (last year they were knocked out by Plzen in 1/16 round of Europa League), they have same coach and I expect a lot of from Partizan this year. They didn't play good in first game but they managed to score 3 goals and with much better performance in this this I expect from them to easy cover this handicap. Last season in qualifications they beat Montenegrin champion Buducnost on this stadium with result 2:0.

On the other side we have Rudar. They finished last season of Montenegrin championship on 6th position (their league have 10 teams) and they were just 6 points above relegation zone. They won Cup on penalties and because that they are playing in this qualifications. Their league is very poor and when in that league they can't finish on top places so you can see how this team is limited. If we compare last official game from last season and first game against Partizan their lineup had just 4 same players from last season. So they changed more than a half first team players and they also changed coach (Vuko Bogavac replaced Miodrag Vukotic). Their coach before last game said that they just don't want to recieve goal but they recieved 3 goals and they really were inferior opponent. They have just one foreign player (33-year-old Soppo) and from all that I wrote in this preview, you can see that they will lose here again for sure. I just hope that Partizan will also cover this handicap.
