The UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round continues on Thursday evening as Hibernian and Partizan Belgrade meet at Easter Road for the decisive second leg. After losing 2-0 at home in Serbia, the visitors know that only a victory — and likely a high-scoring one — will be enough to keep their European journey alive.
Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Hibernian vs Partizan Belgrade, which has been placed with Bet365:

Bet 1 – Partizan Belgrade to Win
Rationale:
Partizan arrive in Edinburgh with plenty of motivation and a point to prove after the setback in the first leg. Reduced to ten men when Vukasin Durdevic saw red before half-time, they still managed to create almost as many shots as Hibernian, showing there is enough attacking spark in their side to trouble the Scots.
Since that defeat, the Belgrade outfit have returned to domestic action in devastating fashion, hammering FK Napredak Krusevac 7-2. This result was not just about the scoreline — it underlined their sharpness in front of goal and their ability to press relentlessly. That victory also extended their impressive start to the Serbian SuperLiga, where they have won three of their opening four fixtures.
Srdan Blagojevic has a squad brimming with technical ability and physical presence, capable of exploiting spaces if Hibs are even slightly complacent. The return of Arandel Stojkovic after suspension adds stability at the back and allows the midfield to push forward more confidently.
With no away goals rule in play, Partizan know they must go for it from the start. That urgency, combined with their attacking depth, makes them dangerous opponents — even in front of a packed and vocal Easter Road crowd.

Bet 2 – Over 2 Total Goals
Rationale:
The second component of the bet is based on the likelihood of goals. Partizan’s recent fixtures have been anything but dull — their last match produced nine goals, and their Conference League tie against Oleksandria saw them net six without reply across two legs.
Hibernian, for their part, have found the net in each of their last five matches, including a 2-2 draw with Kilmarnock in which they surrendered a two-goal lead. This suggests a tendency for their games to open up, particularly when their opponents push forward.

4/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Partizan’s need for a win ensures an attacking approach, and their recent high-scoring matches suggest goals are inevitable. Hibs can threaten on the break, but the visitors’ urgency and quality should see them secure the victory in a game producing over two total goals. | |
Given the circumstances, Partizan cannot afford to sit back. They must attack aggressively, which in turn could leave gaps for Hibernian’s counter-attacking players, such as Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie, to exploit. This style of game naturally lends itself to multiple goals, regardless of which side dominates.
Partizan’s own scoring record also supports this bet. Their attacking combinations, involving experienced creator Bibras Natcho and wide threat Bibars Kostic, have consistently carved open defences in both domestic and European play.
With Hibs still dangerous in transition and Partizan needing to overturn a two-goal deficit, the probability of at least three goals in this second leg is high.
