However, Goncalo Felo's side have taken it one step further and are the only side yet to concede a goal in the tournament and have won their last six Conference League games (including qualifiers) with a shutout. They will book their spot in the knockout rounds with a win here.
Lugano currently occupy the final spot in the automatic qualification places and will be aiming for a win here to consolidate their grip on the top eight.
