Lugano had a good season in Switzerland and reached the Champions League qualifiers. They were eliminated by Fenerbahçe, and then by Besiktas in the Europa League qualifiers. So, for the second consecutive year, they are in the groups of the Conference League. However, in the last edition of the tournament, they did not impress and finished last in their group. On the eve of this match, they are unbeaten in five consecutive matches from all competitions.
HJK Helsinki struggled to reach the groupsHJK started from the Champions League, where they surprisingly were eliminated by Lithuanian side Panevezys. Then they managed to eliminate Decic and Klaksvik in the Conference League qualifiers, but struggled against both teams. In the Finnish league, they are on the verge of being dethroned. They have had no success in the last three rounds and are already falling behind at the top.
Prediction: Lugano to win, over 2.5 goalsLugano believes they are capable of dealing with HJK at home, who struggled to reach the groups and have not been in very good form lately. We can expect at least two goals in the match.
