Getafe Faces Partizan: European Dream on the Line
20 Aug
Summary
- Getafe seeks fourth major tournament appearance after a strong LaLiga finish.
- Partizan advanced by decisively defeating Tobol 5-1 on aggregate.
- This is the first official match between Getafe and Partizan.
Getafe will host Partizan at the Coliseum on Thursday for the crucial first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff tie. After securing a seventh-place finish in the 2025-26 LaLiga season, Getafe stands on the cusp of qualifying for a major tournament for the fourth time in their history.
The Madrid-based club's last tournament appearance was in the 2019-20 season, where they reached the Europa League round of 16. Getafe has experienced a mixed pre-season and began their new La Liga campaign with a loss. Meanwhile, Partizan advanced to this stage by comprehensively defeating Tobol 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round, showcasing their European form.
This historic first-ever clash between Getafe and Partizan is set to be a tightly contested affair. Getafe boasts a strong home record in Europe, winning their last three matches. However, Partizan has also been victorious in all four of their qualifying fixtures this season, despite recent struggles in the Conference League playoffs.
