Lugano and Dinamo Kiev meet in AFG Arena, in a match for this phase of the UEFA Europa League (Group Stage). This will be the first direct confrontation between these two teams, since they have never faced each other before. Dinamo Kiev has considerable differences in its results at home and as a visitor, so in this match the home factor can be decisive.
Lugano:
The home team arrives on this 2nd day of Group B after a defeat in its premiere in this group stage, against FC Copenhagen, for (1‑0). This is a team that presents similar results at home and abroad, so it is not usually affected by the home factor, since in the last 30 matches it records 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in his stadium. The team comes to this match after a home defeat with Neuchâtel Xamax by (0-1). In the last 10 games played at home for all competitions, Lugano won 3, drew 4 and lost 3. His defense has not been very solid, as he suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Lugano’s life will not be easy here in the Europa League and if he wants to at least face the rivals you will have to work hard. In all games you have to show attitude, attack with quality and not make mistakes, as they can be fatal. In the current round, the tendency is to have many difficulties, so you cannot rule out a draw as something positive. Of course, to add at least one point you need to play very well, because with a low performance you will have a great chance of tripping again. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
