Lugano have been in excellent form at home recently, winning six of their last eight matches, and they remain unbeaten in their last seven top-flight encounters against this opposition, winning three of the last four. On the other hand, Besiktas have struggled in their Europa League away games, managing just three victories in their last 19 outings.
Interestingly, all of Besiktas’ last 18 away matches in the Europa League have featured more than 2.5 goals, highlighting their consistency in high-scoring games. Similarly, seven of Lugano’s last nine home games at this level have also seen at least three goals scored.
In their last 14 home games in the Europa League, Lugano have both scored and conceded in 10 of them, showcasing a pattern of both teams finding the net. Likewise, eight of Besiktas’ last 14 away matches in the competition have followed the same trend.
Besiktas have a strong chance of progressing in the Europa League this season, supported by a seven-match unbeaten streak in away games, including five wins from their last six. Lugano, on the other hand, have struggled, earning only two points from their last five matches as their campaign nears its end.
