On Thursday (8/8), Lugano secured a crucial away victory in Belgrade and took a significant step toward qualifying for the Europa League playoffs. The slightly superior Swiss side broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute with a long-range strike from Zanotti. However, on Sunday (11/8), they returned to domestic action against Luzern, fielding a heavily rotated squad with 9 out of 11 changes. Despite leading 2-1 at halftime and coming close to extending their lead with a shot off the crossbar, Lugano faltered in the second half, conceding two late goals and failing to secure even a single point.
Partizan, on the other hand, failed to capitalize on their home advantage, resulting in last week's defeat in Belgrade. Their performance was lackluster, and the pressure has been mounting on the "black and white" squad. In the Serbian league on Sunday (11/8), they suffered their first setback of the season, a disappointing 0-0 draw against IMT Novi Beograd, which only exacerbated concerns. Coach Stanojević made seven changes to the starting lineup, reflecting his focus on the return leg against Lugano, but the strategy backfired as the team appeared disjointed. Adding to their troubles, their top scorer, Saldañha, who has missed several training sessions in recent days, remains a major doubt for today's match.
Lugano is a highly aggressive side and is fully aware that underestimating Partizan could prove costly. While the Serbians are an experienced team, something seems amiss within their ranks at this early stage of the season.
