Getafe vs Partizan prediction 20.08.2026 | UEFA Conference League

Getafe's preparations have been disrupted by a difficult start to the LaLiga campaign. José Bordalás' side lost 3-0 away to Alavés on the opening weekend, although the scoreline was heavily influenced by Kiko Femenía's 41st-minute red card. 

The defeat followed a mixed pre-season, during which Getafe beat Reading and Tenerife, drew with Real Valladolid, lost 4-1 to Atlético Madrid and subsequently suffered a 1-0 defeat against Monaco before drawing 1-1 with Tottenham. The latter result provided some encouragement, with Alberto Risco scoring for Getafe in a match played behind closed doors. 

Bordalás will be without Christantus Uche, who is expected to miss the entire season because of a serious knee injury suffered against Monaco. Midfielder Mario Martín also picked up an injury during the Alavés defeat, while Femenía's availability will depend on the applicable disciplinary rules for this UEFA fixture.

Partizan have been far more active competitively and have produced impressive results in Conference League qualifying. They defeated UNA Strassen 4-0 and 1-0 before overcoming Tobol 3-0 at home and 2-1 away, giving them a perfect four-win record and a 10-1 aggregate goal difference in the competition. 

However, Saša Ilić's team suffered a setback at the weekend, losing 1-0 at home to Radnički 1923 in the Serbian SuperLiga. The defeat ended a strong run and came despite Radnički playing more than an hour with ten men. 

One particularly interesting storyline is Stefan Mitrović, who previously played for Getafe and was involved in Partizan's successful tie against Tobol. His familiarity with the Spanish club could provide useful insight for the visitors.
