The UEFA Europa Conference League returns in midweek as Feyenoord and Partizan square off in the second leg of their round-of-16 clash at the De Kuip Stadium on Thursday.
The Serbian outfit have an uphill battle to overturn a three-goal deficit after falling to a 5-2 home defeat when the sides met in last week’s reverse fixture.
Feyenoord returned to winning ways in the Eredivisie as they saw off PEC Zwolle 2-1 away from home last time out.
Prior to that, they were on a two-game winless run in the league, claiming one draw and losing one since seeing their four-match winning run come to an end.
Feyenoord will now turn their sights to the Conference League, where they will be looking to finish off the job in the last-16 after claiming a thrilling 5-2 win over Thursday’s visitors in last week’s reverse leg.
Meanwhile, Partizan failed to move on from that humbling defeat as they were held to a goalless draw by Napredak Kruševac in the Serbian top flight last time out.
Prior to that, they were on a two-game winning run in the league, seeing off FK Mladost Lučani and FK Spartak Subotica respectively.
Partizan head into Thursday’s game on a run of three wins from their last four away games across all competitions, with February’s 2-0 loss against Red Star Belgrade being the only exception.
Feyenoord vs Partizan Head-To-Head
