Lausanne Sport vs Lugano prediction, odds and how to watch

Lugano won their Conference League opener 2-1 despite being out-possessed and out-attacked for long periods, with a first-half header and a second-half penalty enough to hold off a Maccabi Tel Aviv side that dominated the ball but could not convert it into meaningful chances.

A third-minute goal gave Luzern the platform they needed, and a defensive structure Lausanne simply could not unlock did the rest. This was a result that had a coaching logic to it from the very first whistle.
