Lugano
Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 1-1
Paphos
Thursday’s football game at Stockhorn Arena pits together Lugano and Paphos, the two teams who defeated Legia and Celje respectively in round 5. Lugano are surprisingly sitting in 5th place in the standings and a win over Paphos will see them move one step closer to booking their spot in the Conference League knockout stages. Midfielder Anto Grgic is back from the domestic ban, while all Aliseda, Babic, and Ryter remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Cypriotes, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Celje, but beating Lugano in Switzerland is easier said than accomplished. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Thursday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on draw this time out. Paphos boss Juan Carcedo has a luxury to field the best possible side against Lugano.
