Partizan’s recent home performance in the Europa League has been disappointing, with the team suffering 15 defeats. This poor home form gives an advantage to Lugano, who have won four of their last five away games at this level.
Lugano, after losing the first leg of this tie, will be on the offensive. Notably, 11 of their last 13 away matches in the second tier have featured two or more goals. Similarly, 16 of the last 20 Partizan home games at this level have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a high-scoring match is likely.
In their ten home games this season, Partizan has seen goals from both sides in every match, including a draw with Lugano. Likewise, Lugano has consistently scored and conceded in their last five away matches.
Prediction
Lugano enters this fixture in strong form, having won 13 of their last 18 Europa League matches, including a streak of five consecutive victories.
In contrast, Partizan has faced seven defeats in their last nine games, which does not bode well for their chances in this tough battle.
Prediction: Lugano to win.
