Elsewhere in the competition, Strasbourg ensured they sat top of the pile with a 3-1 win over Breidablik, despite the Ligue 1 side being level until the 80th minute. Sebastian Nanasi turned Ben Chilwell's cross home with just 11 minutes on the clock before Breidablik captain Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson restored parity just before the break. However, Liam Rosenior's side struck twice in 14 minutes, with Martial Godo putting them ahead before Julio Enciso sealed the win, having assisted Strasbourg's second goal.

Only Fiorentina, courtesy of away goals scored, are above them in the table. To compound matters, the Scottish Cup winners' campaign stands in stark contrast as they sit bottom after their worst ever loss in European competition, a 6-0 drubbing by AEK Athens. With this game marking the halfway point in the campaign, Jimmy Thelin's side simply have to start picking up points if they want to reach the knockout stage.

Partizan Belgrade’s tactics focus on midfield dominance, but this sometimes leaves their defense vulnerable, a concern against AEK Larnaca in their Europa League rematch.
