- Home form: Getafe are undefeated in five straight at home across all competitions (Won 3, drawn 2).
- Recent record: Getafe have won three, drawn three and lost four of their last 10 games in all competitions.
- Lugano form: FC Lugano have won their last two matches, beating FC Luzern 4-0 at home and Red Star Belgrade 3-2 away.
A game of contrasts at the Coliseum
This Thursday's UEFA Conference League clash between Getafe and FC Lugano looks like a clash of styles, as Pepe Bordalas has set his team up in a rugged 4-4-2 formation, while Mattia Croci-Torti has Lugano playing in a more organised way. Getafe's system is based around a compact block, aggressive pressing triggers and fast, vertical counter-attacks.
It's not always pretty, but it has served them well in recent weeks, particularly at the Coliseum where they are undefeated in their last five (Won 3, drawn 2). Last time out, they overcame a solid Malaga CF side 1-0 in a close, low-scoring contest, and that's likely to be the recipe for this game too, although Lugano should be able to open the game up as they did against Red Star.
Lugano can make history
Form and odds
FC Lugano's 4.45 away price seems short considering they are seeking to make history, however they are the in-form side and the form suggests they can nick this on the road.
- Lugano have won seven, drawn two and lost only one of their last 10 in all competitions.
- The Swiss side have won all three of their games away this season, which is why the play on Lugano to win and both teams to score looks the sharp play.
- Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.77 and Over 2.5 Goals at 1.86 look likely options, as Lugano's attacking numbers travel well and Getafe can always hit back in transition.
Betting outlook
Getafe's last five across all competitions have seen them win once, draw twice and lose twice, so the edge looks on the visitors here. We're going for a 1-2 Lugano result in the correct score market, as this should be a tight game early on before the visitors can make their mark.
