Lugano aim to continue their remarkable run of form when they welcome Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Conference League playoffs. The Swiss side eliminated NSI Runavik in the third qualifying round and have been scoring goals for fun, winning eight of their last 10 matches while averaging an impressive 3.7 goals per game. Their home form is even more convincing, with Lugano winning all five of their last home outings and conceding just 0.2 goals per game. Kevin Behrens is the man to watch after scoring four goals in his last three matches, while former Leeds defender Ezgjan Alioski remains sidelined.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, meanwhile, will be eager to bounce back after their Europa League elimination at the hands of CSKA Sofia. The Israelis have still won six of their last 10 matches and have been particularly impressive away from home, recording five wins in their last seven outings. They are averaging 2.57 goals per away game, although they have also conceded 1.29 on average. Mohamed Camara is expected to miss out through injury, leaving Maccabi with a difficult task against an in-form Lugano side.
As Lugano are unbeaten in their last 10 and have won every home game in that run, Home Win is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Lugano Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Lugano's matches average a huge 4.5 goals across their last 10).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 19:30.
