Partizan will host Koln at the Partizan Stadium on Thursday in another round of the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages.
The Serbian club have enjoyed a largely solid campaign and are now gunning for a place in the knockout stages of the Conference League. After playing out back-to-back draws in their first two European games of the season, Gordan Petric's men secured their first win of the tournament last time out with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Koln.
Partizan sit atop the league table with five points from three games and will be determined to add to that tally later this week.
The Bundesliga outfit have struggled for form of late and have had mixed results in Europe this season. They held on for a 1-1 draw against Nice in their first group game, beating Slovacko 4-2 on home turf in their second before falling to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of their midweek hosts last time out.
Koln have picked up four points from an obtainable nine and sit third in their group. They are just one point behind their midweek opponents and can leapfrog them with maximum points on Thursday.
