Partizan, tenth with six league defeats and their coach under scrutiny, host a Čukarički side beaten in three of five away games.

A home win is the likeliest single result but far from secure. Čukarički to avoid defeat at 2.5, level at half-time or Čukarički ahead at 1.78, Čukarički to win at 5, Čukarički to lead at half-time at 4.75 and under 2.5 goals at 2.4 all make a case; Partizan at 1.5 to win does not.

Context

Partizan's board backed Ilić on 23 September while asking for significantly better results; a sixth defeat in twelve league games at Železničar has since left the team tenth on 11 points. Supporters confronted the players as they came off in Pančevo, which makes a home game the obvious pressure point, and Ilić is still the person making selection calls, including this week's handling of Demba Seck. The counterweight is that nothing credible points to a change before kickoff, so this reads as a coach under scrutiny rather than one working his last match.
- Partizan lost 1-0 at Železničar Pančevo on 18 October, a sixth Superliga defeat of the season, leaving them tenth with 11 points after 12 rounds.
- Supporters confronted the players as they left the pitch after the final whistle, and the club issued a statement that night.
- Partizan's board had backed Ilić on 23 September while stating it expected significantly better results.

Seck was pulled from the squad and fined after the clash with Čumić, and Partizan played the Pančevo defeat without him. He trained again on 21 October, three days before this fixture, so Ilić has to choose between bringing him straight back and leaving him out while the fine stands. That matters because Partizan have scored once across their last two league matches, and an available forward changes what the bench can do. The open question is behavioural rather than physical, so his return to the XI is plausible but not assured.
- Seck was removed from the squad and fined after an altercation with teammate Nemanja Čumić in mid-October.
- He rejoined training on 21 October, five days later, after apologising.
- The fine remained in place when he returned to the group.
- D. Seck started 2 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Radonjić left Crvena Zvezda at the start of October and signed for a Čukarički side built around experienced attackers alongside its young core. He arrived short of match fitness and missed the first two games, so the Partizan trip is the earliest realistic window for a bench role. It matters because Čukarički's 3-0 win over Zemun came without him, meaning his introduction would be a late-game option rather than a change of plan. Nothing indicates he is ready to start or to last a full match, so his involvement is possible rather than probable.
- Radonjić's return to Čukarički was made public on 9 October, and he was at the Mačva match on 10 October.
- He was short of match fitness and unavailable for his first two matches after signing.
- He could be included in the squad for the Partizan game and come on as a substitute.

Partizan have not broken Čukarički down in either 2026 league meeting, which makes another tight, low-scoring afternoon plausible. That is a two-match sample, not a pattern, and Čukarički's last six league games produced 21 goals. The goalless series is a caution about the home attack rather than a forecast in itself.
- Čukarički 0-0 Partizan, Super Liga, 17 May 2026.
- Partizan 0-0 Čukarički, Super Liga, 5 April 2026.
