Sochi is on the 6th line in the Russian championship standings after three rounds (six points). The Leopards gained two victories and suffered one defeat. On August 9, Sochi won a home match against Ural Yekaterinburg (2-0). The hosts scored a goal in each half. In the 8th minute, the scoring was opened by Ivelin Popov, who scored at Sochi for the first time. And Fedotov's charges got the right to an 11-meter kick in the middle of the second half. The penalty was converted by Christian Noboa, who scored in two games in a row. The coaching staff rotated the squad. Soslan Dzhanaev manned the sticks instead of Nikolai Zabolotny, and Kirill Zaika replaced Timofey Margasov on the right flank of the defense. In the midfield, Christian Noboa and Nikita Burmistrov gave way to Victorien Angban and Artur Yusupov, and Marko Dugandzic was replaced by Maksim Barsov at the helm.
The outcome of the first match (1-1) leaves chances for Sochi, but it will be extremely difficult to achieve success in Serbia. Partizan shows very good statistics at its native stadium. The Black-Whites have a 30-match unbeaten streak in official home matches (29 victories and one draw), and it has been lasting since December 2019. The only club that managed to avoid defeat on the pitch of Partizan was Crvena Zvezda, and it happened in October last year (1-1). During this successful segment, Partizan dealt with Kazakhstani Astana (4-1), Latvian RFS (1-0), and Slovak DAK (1-0). The factor of fans’ support and the excellent shape of the Belgrade team will also play against Sochi. Beyond that, the Black-Whites are more experienced in European competitions compared to Fedotov's team, which is participating in the qualification of an international tournament for the first time.
Prediction for the match: Partizan to win
