The fourth round of matches in the Europa conference league takes place this midweek, and one of the rounds sees Partizan Beograd play host to the German side, FC Cologne. The match comes just a week after these two sides met, with the tie ending 1-0 in favor of Partizan away from home to cement further their position at the top of Group D in this competition. The visitors will be seeking to turn this tie around when they travel on the road for the second leg encounter after being outplayed last time. However, to salvage anything out of this game, the German side, who have not been in the best possible form in recent weeks, will need to bring their A game against a side who has forgotten what it feels to lose a game.

Partizan head into this tie undefeated in their last ten matches in all competitions, especially with their most recent win coming last weekend in the Serbia Super Liga, a tie which they won 4-0, maintaining a clean sheet against Vozdovac away from home. They will bring their excellent run of form into this tie to secure a win again in front of their home supporters, who will be desperate to see their team achieve greater heights this season.

Irrespective of how feasible the permutations are for the German visitors to present a shock in this tie on paper, in reality, they are a far cry from where they had envisaged being at this point of the season. The visitors head into this tie on the back of two consecutive defeats in all competitions, conceding 6 goals in their last two matches while scoring just two in the process. They will be wary of how porous their defense has been this season when they travel to Serbia for this round of matches, as Cologne has seen their defense concede at least a single goal in eight consecutive matches, failing to keep clean sheets in the process.

We are not eradicating the possibility of the German side coming into this tie looking for a new lease of life after a string of abysmal performances. They may pose as underdogs. However, we believe that Partizans have in their arsenal all the required rudiments to prevent a defeat in this tie by winning or drawing it once again, as they have done in recent weeks. The home side has kept two consecutive clean sheets heading into this tie. Thus, we believe fewer goals may be scored in this one as both teams will be wary of making needless mistakes that may prove costly. Hence we are backing the home side to prevent a defeat at the final whistle blast of the whistle.

欧联杯联赛的第四轮比赛将于本周中进行，其中一轮将是贝尔格莱德游击队主场迎战德国科隆足球俱乐部。这场比赛发生在两队交手仅一周之后，客场1-0的比分让游击队获得胜利，进一步巩固了他们在D组头名的位置。客队在上一回合被击败后，将在第二回合的客场比赛中寻求扭转战局。然而，要想从这场比赛中挽回点什么，最近几周状态不佳的德国球队需要拿出他们的A场比赛来迎战一支已经忘记了输球滋味的球队。

游击队在过去的10场比赛中保持不败，尤其是他们最近的一场胜利是在上周末的塞尔维亚超级联赛中，他们以4-0的比分战胜了沃日多瓦茨，保持了客场零封的状态。他们将在主场的球迷面前把他们出色的状态带进这场比赛，确保再次取得胜利，他们的球迷将不顾一切地看到他们的球队在本赛季取得更大的成就。

不管德国客队在纸面上打出惊天动地的战局有多可行，实际上，他们和他们本赛季的预期相差很远。客队在所有赛事都遭遇两连败的情况下，在最近两场比赛中丢了6球，而在整个过程中只进了2球。当他们前往塞尔维亚参加本轮比赛时，他们将会对本赛季他们的防守漏洞感到警惕，因为科隆的防守在连续8场比赛中至少丢了一个球，在此过程中未能保持零封。

我们并不排除德国队在经历了一连串糟糕的表现后，在这场比赛中寻求新生的可能性。他们可能会摆出被压迫者的姿态。然而，我们相信，在他们的军火库中，有一切必要的基本技能，可以通过再赢一场或再平一场来防止在这场平局中失败，就像他们最近几个星期所做的那样。主队在这场比赛中连续两场不失球。因此，我们相信本场比赛进球数会更少，因为两支球队都会小心避免犯下不必要的错误，否则可能会付出高昂的代价。因此我们支持主队以防止在终场哨响时失利。
