Partizan
Partizan, one of the most decorated clubs in Serbia, has extensive experience in European tournaments. The team has made a strong start in the Serbian Superliga, quickly establishing itself at the top of the table.
However, their European campaign has started poorly. Partizan began their journey in the Champions League, where they were decisively beaten by Kyiv's Dynamo. The 2:9 aggregate scoreline reflected their struggles, and now the Serbians will aim to advance to the Europa League group stage.
Lugano
Lugano's situation at the start of the season is quite similar to that of Partizan. The team also began confidently in their domestic league, winning all three matches and leading the Swiss Super League.
In the Champions League, the Swiss side also struggled, losing both matches to Turkish Fenerbahçe (3:4 and 1:2). Lugano will now try their luck in the second-tier European competition.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
