Prediction: 1-0
Lugano
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Zaglebie, Legia will be aiming to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Lugano in the Conference League round 5. Legia look unstoppable at the moment and it has to be noted that they have yet to conceded a goal in the process. All Elitim, Leszczynski, Mustafaev, Oyedele, and Tobiasz are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Lugano, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Luzern. Mattia Croci-Torti’s troops are eyeing their fourth win in the Conference League, but seeing that Legia have turned their Stadion Wojska Polskiego into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Argentina forward Ignacio Aliseda remains in the recovery room, but the 24-year-old should be the only absentee in the Swiss outfit. In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in 1971 (UEFA Cup), the two sides played out a goalless draw and given Legia’s solid defence, yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards.
Highlighted Team (Legia):
Legia is a football club based in Warsaw and it is one of the most successful sides in Polish history. The Militarians – as they are commonly referred to in Poland – have won 11 Ekstraklasa Championship title, while they also hold the record-18 Polish Cup trophies and four Polish SuperCup matches.
Founded as the main official football club of the Polish Army, Legia Warsaw are playing theirhome matches at the Polish Army Stadium which can accommodate 31,000 people. Legia have endured mixed fortunes at the international scene with the Polish giants regularly participating in Europa League, with four group inclusions over the last six years. The Militarians headed into the 2016-17 season feeling buoyed and motivated having succeeded in ending the 20-year Champions League wait, becoming the first Polish team to take part in Europe’s elite competition over the last two decades.
The 3-1 aggregate playoff victory over Irish Dundalk earned them a place in the final showpiece with Legia being thrown into a heavy mix with the likes of Sporting CP, Borussia Dortmund and European champions Real Madrid.
