Lugano has been in excellent form at home, winning six of their last eight games and not losing any of their previous seven matches against their next opponents, taking victories in three of those four matches.
Conversely, Partizan has found it challenging in their Europa League travels, securing just three wins in their last 19 games.
A consistent trend for Partizan away games in the Europa League is high scoring, with more than 2.5 goals occurring in 13 of their last 16 matches.
This pattern is mirrored in Lugano’s home fixtures, where 13 out of the last 16 games also saw the total exceeding 2.5 goals. Thus, their upcoming match is likely to continue this high-scoring trend, marking the sixth consecutive high-scoring encounter between the two.
Before facing Napoli and Udinese in the Europa League, Lugano had a sequence where they scored and conceded in 13 straight matches. Partizan has exhibited similar behavior, with both teams scoring in 13 of their last 16 major games.
Prediction
Lugano’s recent home performances have typically been goal-rich, with 11 out of their last 16 games yielding at least three goals.
Likewise, Partizan’s last 16 away games in the Swiss Super League have frequently seen over 2.5 goals, occurring 11 times. Given this history, it’s unlikely their next game will deviate from this pattern.
Predicted Score: Lugano 2, Partizan 1
