TSC vs Lugano Prediction
TSC have struggled this season and already find themselves too far off the pace in the Serbian league. Their tally of 19 points from 13 games is the second-worst return in the club's history. Furthermore, they enter this game on a long losing streak in European games and fans of the club could be pessimistic of getting anything positive.
Lugano, by contrast, are flying high and are one of nine sides to have won their opening two games. Their start to the tournament has been made more impressive by the fact that they are yet to concede a goal in the competition. Things are also bright domestically as they sit joint-top of the Swiss Super League alongside FC Zurich. Another victory here would put them on the cusp of advancing to a UEFA competition knockout round for the first time in their history.
We are backing the visitors to claim a routine victory in addition to a clean sheet.
