Lugano will put on the line their unbeaten European record when they face Qarabag in the play-off round of the UEFA Conference League. This first leg match on Thursday at AIL Arena between the ‘Black and Whites' and the ‘Yellows’ could continue the recent scoring trend of these teams, which is why our match prediction is over 2.5 goals.
Lugano started in the second qualifying round of this competition, while Maccabi have started in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) and crashed out of the competition after losing to CSKA Sofia in the third round. The winner of this two-legged tie advances to the league phase of the Conference League.
A smashing 10-1 away win in the Swiss Cup over a lower-division team flattered Lugano. It was their seventh victory in their last eight games (L1), though, giving the Swiss a perfect platform to explode.
The hosts won each of their last four matches here in all competitions, two of those in Europe.
Maccabi won 1-0 away at Netanya in the Toto Cup play-offs, making it their fifth victory in their last six games (L1). The Israeli visitors also have three wins from their four European matches this season (L1), although that lone defeat proved the reason they are playing here. A run of four consecutive away wins also gives hope for the visitors.

Our FC Lugano vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Prediction
Lugano are coming off a heavy win, but their winning margin is too flattering. The Swiss hosts will be buoyed by their unbeaten run in this competition this season, while Qarabag have dropped down to the Conference League after crashing out of the Europa League. Interestingly, three wins out of four in that competition underline Qarabag’s threat in this outing.
The recent scoring trend of these sides shows that goals could flow here, and that’s why our FC Lugano vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC prediction is over 2.5 goals.
