NSÍ Runavík vs FC Lugano

NSI Runavik host Lugano in the second leg of their Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie, needing to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit to reach the play-off round. NSI Runavik currently sit top of the Faroe Islands Premier League, while Lugano finished third in last season's Swiss Super League. Lugano arrive in strong form, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions, and took control of the first leg through goals from Elias Pihlström and Kevin Behrens. NSI Runavik reached this round by edging past Koper on penalties and will lean on Pétur Knudsen, their top scorer this season, to spark a comeback. The clubs have never met before this tie, so the first leg in Switzerland remains their only previous encounter, with Lugano firmly in command of the aggregate scoreline. Our prediction: 1-1
