FC Lugano vs Union Saint-Gilloise Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Europa League Predictions
Lugano will seek to overturn their first leg loss when they host Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League playoffs. It is an uphill task for the hosts after their 2-0 away loss in Belgium. A place in the groups awaits the winner on aggregate, which currently favors the visitors. Lugano are making a first appearance in the competition since 2019 and hope to make it count. The loss in the first leg came on the back of two straight wins with big margins. They’ve however struggled against top teams. In the last four matches Lugano have two losses without scoring. The hosts are on a six-game winning run at home, but that’s in domestic action. Things are quite different when it gets to continental action. Lugano have failed to win in seven straight Europa League matches. In five of those seven matches, they failed to score.
Union Saint-Gilloise have a good cushion to protect coming into this game. They will definitely want to make it count here. If they get past this unscathed, the Belgians will be back to the group stage for a second straight time. A run of three wins in four matches places them on a confident footing coming into this game. However, their recent 4-0 loss to Mechelen would serve as a reminder that they can be undone. That defeat marked the only time in four matches that Union Saint-Gilloise failed to score. Their only defeat in five Europa League matches was inflicted at home by Bayer Leverkusen last season. In this game, Union Saint-Gilloise will hope to extend their scoring run in Europa League. In 10 matches in the competition, they’ve failed to score just once. Seven times in the 10 matches, they’ve scored two or more goals.
