Sfîntul Gheorghe and Partizan get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round fixture.

Partizan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
