- Venue: Stockhorn Arena (Thun)
Thursday is reserved for competition in the Europa League and Conference League.
Lugano is currently doing exceptionally well in the third strongest European competition. They are in 5th place on the table with 12 points. After victories against HJK, Mlada Boleslav, and Gent, in the last round, they added a valuable win away against Legia. These results in Europe are no coincidence, considering Lugano is currently leading the Swiss Super League, with Basel, Zurich, and Young Boys closely following. They slightly dulled the impression after a convincing 4-1 win against Lausanne last week, but that shouldn't affect them ahead of the upcoming matches.
Pafos is a club that was founded only 10 years ago, and this is their first participation in the group stage of any European competition. In the first 5 matches, they performed excellently. A record of 3 wins and 2 losses is impressive for a debutant. Last week, they comfortably defeated Celje 2-0, reinforcing their candidacy for a place in the knockout phase. In the meantime, they also won their domestic league match, strengthening their position at the top of the table, and will travel to this away match in high spirits.
LUGANO VS PAFOS PICK: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
Although they are favorites in this match, Lugano will not have an easy task against the excellent team of Pafos. This is a squad full of experienced internationals, especially Brazilians, with only a few local players. They play fast and attractive football, which often creates significant problems for their opponents since they are still not well scouted. It's enough to mention that they caused Fiorentina plenty of trouble for 90 minutes at the Artemio Franchi stadium, and if they manage to replicate even a fraction of that performance, they have something to hope for in Switzerland. BTTS (Both Teams To Score) is our pick.
