Match preview: CFR vs Lugano

CFR and Lugano clash at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu in a match for the second leg of this phase of the European League (Qualification Round 2), following a goalless draw in the first leg. The home advantage could play a critical role, particularly as CFR shows significant disparities in their home and away results.

Team analysis: CFR

CFR is a team heavily influenced by the home advantage, performing better in front of their supporters. Over their last 30 matches, they have managed 2 wins, 10 draws, and 3 losses away, with a tally of 21 goals scored and 18 conceded. In contrast, at home, they have achieved 11 wins, 3 draws, and only 1 loss, with 33 goals scored and just 11 conceded. They come into this fixture after a home defeat to Argeş (0-2). CFR has secured 7 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 10 home matches across all competitions. However, their defence has allowed goals in 7 of these 10 games, indicating an area that requires improvement. On the offensive front, they have scored regularly, netting in 7 of their last 10 outings. Notably, in 15 fixtures where they conceded first, they were unable to turn the scoreline around.

CFR Cluj enters this match following a 0-2 defeat against Argeş, in a match valid for the Romanian Championship. In their first leg clash in the European League, they managed a 0-0 draw against Lugano. The team managed by Dan Petrescu typically adopts a tactical 4-3-3 system, favouring controlled and slower transitions, predominantly through the central areas. In this formation, the trio responsible for pressuring the opposition’s defence includes Beni Nkololo, Louis Munteanu, and Meriton Korenica. Unfortunately, they will be missing Kenneth Omeruo, Aly Abeid, Virgiliu Postolachi, Lindon Emërllahu, Simon Rocha, Karlo Muhar, and Mohammed Kamara due to injuries.

Team analysis: Lugano

Lugano is a team less influenced by home advantage, showing comparable results whether at home or away. Over their last 30 matches, they have recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses, with a total of 18 goals scored and 23 conceded as visitors. At home, they achieved 4 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, leading to 23 goals scored and 27 conceded. In their most recent match, they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Thun in the Super League. Of their last 10 matches as visitors, Lugano has secured merely 2 wins, alongside 1 draw and 7 losses. Their defence has been breached in 8 of these last 10 matches, highlighting a need for improvement, while their attack has consistently scored, managing to find the net in 7 of their last 10 games. Remarkably, in 15 matches where they conceded the first goal, they have never managed to flip the scoreline. In their last 20 games across all competitions, they have conceded 12 out of their 33 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Lugano approaches this match after a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Thun, within the framework of the Swiss Championship. In the first leg encounter of this European League tie, the visitors ended up with a 0-0 draw against CFR Cluj. The visiting side typically employs a tactical style of 4-3-3, akin to their opponents for this match, with their front three comprised of Ezgjan Alioski, Renato Steffen, and Georgios Koutsias. In the midfield, Anto Grgic, Daniel dos Santos, and Uran Biblimi are likely to feature. Manager Mattia Croci-Torti is expected to be without the services of Hicham Mahou, Ahmed Kendouci, and Martim Marques due to injury.
