Crvena zvezda wins in Europe while Partizan struggles in playoffs
Serbian football clubs are experiencing significant activity in both European competitions and domestic league play. Crvena zvezda secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League playoffs, with Mirko Ivanić scoring twice. Despite the win, new manager Albert Riera expressed dissatisfaction with certain technical aspects of the team's performance. The club is also active in the transfer market, officially announcing the return of Mihailo Ristić and pursuing young Korean talent Je Gon Kim.
In contrast, Partizan Belgrade faced difficulties, losing 3-1 to Getafe in the Conference League playoffs. This loss follows a period of poor domestic form, leaving them in 11th place in the Serbian SuperLiga. Partizan's coach, Saša Ilić, has addressed internal discipline issues, notably the temporary removal of player Ibrahim Zubairu for violating club rules.
In the Serbian SuperLiga, Radnički Kragujevac continues a winning streak with a 2-1 victory over IMT, while upcoming fixtures include Crvena zvezda hosting Čukarički and Železničar facing Vojvodina.
