Lugano host Crvena Zvezda in the Europa Conference League tonight. This is a continental cup tie between two teams from different leagues and different countries. Lugano have just thrashed their league opponents 4-0 in their last match, after winning 4-1 before that, while Crvena Zvezda also just won 3-0 in their league. They arrive by different roads but both are hitting form. Lugano are still unbeaten in their own league, with 9 wins and 1 draw from 10 matches, scoring 31 and conceding 7. Their attack is red hot, but their defence still shows lapses from time to time. Crvena Zvezda have it tougher in that they are unbeaten in the league, with 10 wins and 1 draw from 11 matches, conceding just 3 goals all season. Their defence is clearly tighter, and in this competition they are unbeaten in 5 straight matches. The pattern should see the hosts with slightly more of the ball, in keeping with their home style, but Crvena Zvezda are good at sitting deep and waiting for the counter. Lugano's first halves at home tend to start fast and produce goals often, while Crvena Zvezda tend to start more cautiously away from home. The second half should open up more as both sides need the result.
