Mlada Boleslav vs Lugano Prediction and Betting Tips

Lugano visit the Lokotrans Arena to face Mlada Boleslav in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday, looking to make it two wins from two.

The Swiss outfit began their campaign with a 3-0 defeat of HJK earlier this month. Antonios Papadopoulos, Martim Marques and Daniel Dos Santos struck to hand their side a big win on the opening day.

With three points in the bag and a goal difference of +3, the Black and White are fourth in the Conference League. Cercle Brugge, Omonia and Pafos are the sides above them.

Since then, though, they've struggled to keep up the momentum, as Lugano were pegged back to a 1-1 draw by Zurich followed by a 2-0 loss to Yverdon, both coming in the Swiss Super League.

Meanwhile, Mlada Boleslav lost 2-0 to Noah in their first game of the Conference League. Matheus Aias and Virgile Pinson struck in the second half to make the difference for the Armenian side.

As much as they'd be aiming to get their campaign up and running on matchday two, the Czech Republic side are winless in six games across competitions.
