Last season Videoton settled on the second position in the Hungarian OTP Bank Liga. The Hungarians opened the current campaign in June and participated in 11 matches. In the Eurocups the side has knocked out three rivals already which is a great achievement for any Hungarian club: Balzan 2:0, 3:3, Kalju 3:0, 1:1 and Bordeaux 1:2, 1:0. In the Hungarian OTP Bank Liga Videoton share the first-second places with 11 points earned and 9-4 goal difference after five gameweeks. The Hungarians lost only once in 11 clashes of the season.
The opponents are nearly the same level and promotion to the Group stage will be a great success for the winner of this pair, taking into consideration rivals' competitive form. I believe that team's results at the home field will play a decisive role in designation of the winner. Thus, the Serbians have to get a home victory, if they want to perform in the Eurocups in autumn.
Prediction for the match: Partizan to win.
