Lugano hosts Dynamo Kyiv in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 3rd at Kybunpark (St. Gallen)
If Lugano had to play qualification matches for the group stage of the Europa League, it would have lost there a long time ago and left the tournament. Bu the team won the bronze medals in the last championship of Switzerland and automatically got into the main draw of the tournament. However, Lugano doesn’t show that quality of the game that it had in the last season. And the squad is almost preserved (except Brik, Mihailovic, and Sidik left the team), and coach Celstini remained, but the results... In the last 10 games, 7 losses and only 1 victory. Lugano also lost to Copenhagen in the 1st round. And after 9 rounds of the local championship, it has only 1 victory with 5 losses. Having scored 8 goals and conceded 10, Lugano shares the last place with Thun.

Dynamo somewhat cheered up its fans with the latest results. 4 victories in the last 4 matches without a single goal conceded, including the victory in the 1st group match against Malmo. Yes, the score was modest - just 1-0. But the Blue-Whites looked much more convincing in terms of the game. They possessed the ball 64% of playing time. The Swedish defense was not given rest throughout the game, and Dynamo was rewarded with a goal at the end. That was enough for victory.
We should wait for something like that in the upcoming match, although Dynamo is playing away. The Swiss club is too helpless to compete on equal terms even with current Dynamo. Mykhaylychenko focuses on team play - the game which was played by Dynamo of Lobanovsky. At the same time, there is Tsygankov who stands out from the rest. Buyalskyi begins to “sizzle” again. Rodriguez is assimilating and tormenting the defense of all rivals, without exception. And just such a strategy, combined with the individualism of the mentioned players, will bring success in the game with such a weak opponent. Lugano does not have what Dynamo has now. It has nothing at all - neither individually strong performers, nor team play, nor positive results. Most likely, there will not be many goals, but all of them 9 or just one) will certainly fly into the net of the Swiss.
Prediction for the match: Dynamo Kyiv to win
