We said: Lugano 3-2 Pafos FC

Neither team can afford to be cautious with both needing a result, and the potential to move into second place should encourage Lugano to go for the three points here. Pafos must win if they want to break into the top eight, but poor away form on the continent suggests they may come up just short here, even though a knockout spot is already secured. Read more.
