Partizan’s recent home record in the Europa League has been dismal, with the team suffering 15 defeats. This poor performance at home offers an advantage to Lugano, who have won four of their last five away games at this level.
Lugano, having lost the first leg of this tie, will be on the offensive. Notably, 11 of their last 13 away matches in the second tier have featured two or more goals. Similarly, 16 of the last 20 Partizan home games at this level have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a high-scoring match is likely.
In their ten home games this season, Partizan has seen goals from both sides in every match, including a draw with Lugano. The visitors, Lugano, have also consistently scored and conceded in their last five away matches.
Lugano comes into this fixture with strong form, having won 13 of their last 18 Europa League matches, including a streak of five consecutive victories. In contrast, Partizan has faced seven defeats in their last nine games, which does not bode well for their survival in this hard-fought battle.
Prediction: Lugano to win.
