Union Saint-Gilloise vs FC Lugano Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions
Union Saint-Gilloise will start their Europa League campaign with a home game against Lugano at the playoffs stage. The hosts seek to advance to the group stage of this competition for a second straight time. Last season, the Belgian side had a good run in their Europa League debut. They went all the way to the quarterfinals before their elimination by Bayer Leverkusen. As they seek a good start to this competition, Union Saint-Gilloise must improve on their last outing. They are coming from a 4-0 loss at the hands of Mechelen. Three straight wins had preceded that heavy defeat and Union Saint-Gilloise will hope to get their footing. They are third in the Belgian league, a point behind the leaders, signaling their ability. The hosts have won their last two home matches in competitive action. In the Europa League, they have just one loss in the last four matches and have scored in each of the four. Twice in the last four Europa League games, they scored three times. In three of their five home games in Europa league last season, Union Saint-Gilloise scored three times. They only failed to score once in five home matches in this competition.
Swiss side Lugano hopes to have an impact in this competition. Lugano are returning after four years out. They are coming from some big wins in their recent matches and will hope to carry the same here. A 7-0 away win over Gunzwil was their most recent result, but they know it will get tougher here. Lugano will be well aware of their struggles in this competition four years back. They failed to win any of the last six away matches in the Europa League, losing three of them. The Swiss side also failed to score in four of the six losses in this competition. They managed just two goals in their last six matches in the Europa League. Lugano had a first taste of the Europa League in 2002, but waited 15 years to make another appearance. They featured in the group stages in 2017 and 2019. Their away form in this competition has three straight matches without a win. They have five losses in seven away matches in this competition. This match will mark the first ever meeting between the two sides.
