Swiss side Lugano, keen on defending their placing in the Conference League top eight, will be at home against Pafos. The two sides clash on Thursday, separated by three points in the league phase standings. Below is our prediction of the match.

Lugano responded to the defeat against TSC with two straight wins in this competition. Coming from behind to beat Legia Warsaw 2-1 lifted them to fifth, on 12 points.

They weren’t, however, so fortunate in the run up to this game, losing 4-1 at home to Lausanne-Sport in the Swiss league. That defeat brough to a halt a run of three straight wins.

While Lugano are going into their final match of 2024, Pafos will still have one more in the Cypriot league. The visitors are coming into the game on a superb run and will be eyeing a fourth straight win here.

One of the earlier three matches was in the Conference League, a 2-0 home victory against Celje. Heading into this game, they warmed up with a 2-0 victory away to Nea Salamis.

Their form in the Conference League has been patchy; two of their last four matches ended in defeat. Their away form in the competition is, however, worse. Pafos have four losses in their last five away matches in the Conference League.

Our FC Lugano vs Pafos FC Prediction

In the first ever meeting between Lugano and Pafos, the visitors come at a disadvantage. Lugano are on a better run ahead of the match and will be keen to wrap up the year in the top eight.

They are doing well in the Swiss league and will be confident of carrying the form to Europe in this final game of 2024. Pafos are also doing well in their league but not in Europe. The visitors will be the underdogs here and their away form in the Conference League doesn’t help. Our prediction for Lugano v Pafos is for Lugano to win.
