A vital UEFA Europa League qualification tie takes place at Cornaredo, Lugano as FC Lugano hosts CFR Cluj.
FC Lugano vs CFR Cluj Betting Tips - BTTS
Europa League qualifying action continues on Wednesday as Swiss side FC Lugano welcome Romanian challengers CFR Cluj to the Cornaredo Stadium.
Lugano face their first competitive fixture of the season after a decent set of pre-season results. The Swiss hosts picked up three wins while losing one of four games played.
A lack of clean sheets at the end of last season and in pre-season fixtures has seen Mattia Croci-Torti´s men involved in several entertaining contests. Only one of their last eight games did not finish with BTTS.
CFR Cluj makes the trip to Romania in decent form, having enjoyed a four-game unbeaten run at the start of their campaign. Dan Petrescu’s men have lost just one of their last 16 matches across all competitions since the end of last season, while they held a strong Rapid Bucharest side to a 1:1 draw in their most recent Superliga fixture. That form should give them confidence heading into Thursday´s first-ever meeting with Lugano.
The Romanians are typically well-organised and difficult to beat, but they’ve also shown an ability to get on the scoresheet, having scored at least one goal in 13 of their last 15 outings. The Romanian side have also drawn six of their last 14 games, and another competitive contest seems likely this week.
While a tough tie to call with much confidence, I do expect both teams to score in Switzerland.
FC Lugano team news
Mattia Croci-Torti has five new players available for selection this week. Kevin Behrens and Damian Kelvin are among those expected to make their competitive debut at Cornaredo.

CFR Cluj team news
Dan Petrescu is unlikely to make too many changes from the side that claimed a 1:1 draw against Rapid Bucharest last weekend. Louis Munteanu could earn a recall despite being linked with a move away from the club.
