FK Partizan: Serbian SuperLiga 2025 Contenders or Fading Giants?

Don’t overlook this, lads! I’m a footy geek who loves digging into Eastern Europe, and FK Partizan’s 2025 Serbian SuperLiga charge has me intrigued. Finishing 1st in 2024/25 with 28 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, and 78 goals, led by Ricardo Gomes’ 17 strikes, they’re dominating. Their Europa League last-32 run, beating Young Boys 3-1, hints at more, but are they contenders or relics? I’m not fully sold.

Eight wins in 2025 show strength, with a 4-2-3-1 formation leaning on wingers. TalkSport’s Ally McCoist lauds their ‘Balkan fire,’ but the league’s competitive—Red Star looms. Their 2.4 goals per game and 0.7 conceded are top, but Champions League will expose them. X buzzes: ‘Partizan to rule!’ I say their squad—thin with Gomes and Samed Baždar (9 goals)—can’t handle Europe. Their Europa form—5 wins, 1 loss—shows grit, but can they step up?

Gomes’ 17 goals from 23 shots on target (74% rate) is stellar, but the team’s reliance risks collapse. Defender Strahinja Pavlović’s 6 clean sheets help, but European pace will test them. Their 2024/25 away form—6 wins in 8—suggests strength. I’ve tracked Serbian footy, and Partizan’s fun, but I doubt they’ll shine abroad.

History’s proud. From 1940s roots to 14 titles, they’ve clashed Red Star, winning 5 of 10 recently. Their 2025 form, 8 wins, is solid, but squad depth lags.

This season’s their test. I predict a title, but a European group-stage exit. Prove me wrong, Partizan!
