Number of the match10That is how many matches in a row Lugano have gone without defeat – and scored in – before heading into this break.
The run against the picture of the game. Lugano are 10 matches unbeaten. In the first half it was the visitors who were more often on the ball: 65% possession and 11 shots to the hosts' 6. On target it was 3 to 2. The hosts did win more corners, 3 to 2. The contrast is clear.

Number of the match10That is how many matches in a row without a defeat, and with a goal scored, Lugano have behind them as they go into the game as Super League leaders.
Super League leaders on home turf
Lugano go into Matchday 1 of the Europa Conference League as Super League leaders. In their last league match they thrashed Luzern 4–0 at home. The hosts' run now stands at 10 matches in a row without a defeat, and Lugano scored in every one of them. That is the foundation on which the Swiss side enter the European league phase. Crvena Zvezda come to Switzerland from a different perspective: after a domestic match and a long break from European competition.
Both teams' form
In their last league match Lugano beat Luzern 4–0, which confirmed their position at the top of the Super League. Crvena Zvezda beat Radnički Niš in a Superliga match, winning convincingly after earlier problems. Both sides therefore have wins from the start of October behind them. What separates them is rhythm: the hosts are 5 days on from their previous Super League match, the visitors 49 days on from their last Europa League game. That difference in rest and in the competitions both clubs last played in is one of the clearest in the build-up to this match.
Behrens and goals from the start
Lugano's top league scorer is Kevin Behrens: 6 goals and 1 assist in 6 matches. The striker is the main source of goals for a team that has scored in every match for 10 games. The hosts' scoring profile this season shows that 3 of their 13 goals came in the first 15 minutes. Lugano scored the same number, 3 of 13, after the 75th minute. In 7 of their last 10 matches both sides scored, so the hosts often conceded too.
How similar matches ended
In 5481 matches across all leagues where the gap in strength between the teams was similar to this one, the home side won 52%. A draw came in 25% of the games, and the away side won in 23%. At least 3 goals were scored in 53% of those matches. This is data on the past of such fixtures, not a forecast of how this match will go.
Squads: no captain and three more absences
Crvena Zvezda are weakened. Captain Mirko Ivanić will not play against Lugano and has not travelled to Switzerland. Besides him, the squad is without Shavy Babicka, who is suspended, and the injured Veljko Milosavljevic and Adem Avdić. Lugano cannot count on Carbone and Claudio Cassano, both out injured. So the hosts have two absences, the visitors four.
