Legia vs Lugano Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Impressive since the start of this Conference League, Legia is in a very good position to reach the round of 16 directly, as evidenced by its 2nd place in the standings with 3 points ahead of 9th. Without conceding a single goal, the Warsaw-based team simply won their four matches played against Betis Sevilla 1-0, TSC 0-3, Dinamo Minsk 4-0 and Omonia Nicosia 0-3. Less sovereign on the national scene, the Poles only appear in 5th place in their championship, 5 units of expenditure on the podium. On the other hand, they have found the right fuel since the beginning of October. Last weekend, Legia Warsaw traveled to Zaglebie last weekend. 8th in this Conference League with the same number of points as 9th, Lugano is in the race to avoid the play-offs and thus access directly to the 8th finals.

During the 3rd day, Mattia Croci-Torti's men were soundly beaten by the Serbs of Backa Topola 4-1. Uncompromising elsewhere, they won against HJK 3-0, Mlada Boleslav 0-1 and La Gantoise two weeks ago 2-0. In the championship, Lugano is involved in the fight for the title this season and today occupies 2nd place in the standings. After losing to 3rd place Servette 3-0, Lugano traveled to Lucerne last weekend.

For Legia Warsaw, it is important to point out the withdrawals of goalkeeper No. 1 Tobiasz, starting striker Nsamé, Manchester United-trained midfielder Oyedele, young Leszczynski (midfielder) and long-term absentees Mustafaev (defender) and Elitim (middle). In the offensive domain, the attackers Luquinhas (3 goals in C4) and Gual (2 goals and 2 assists in C4) stand out. Midfielders Kapustka (6 goals in the league) and Augustyniak (4 goals in the league) can also be influential. Lugano still cannot count on the important striker Aliseda (6 goals and 3 assists in the league), injured.

Furthermore, starting midfielder Bottani is suspended. On the other hand, promising defender Hajdari is back from suspension. During the last Conference League match, Frenchman Mahou found the net. In the absence of Aliseda, it is the experienced winger Steffen (6 goals and 3 assists in the league) who constitutes the main offensive asset.
