Luzern (Sui) vs Osijek (Cro) Prediction & Betting tips
An interesting match in this day on Thursday is the dispute between Luzern and Osijek for a new round of the Europa League (return).
Luzern (Sui) :
In my opinion, there is no clear favorite this time, as shown by the odds offered by bookmakers. For this reason and considering that the series is still open for the Swiss, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet “plus 1.5 goals”. He remembers that the Croats could liquidate it with elaborate plays, dead balls or lethal counters. In theory they have a higher rank than their rival.
Take into account that Luzern are a Swiss team that made a good campaign in their domestic league last season, placing in the fifth position of the table. He has a footballing rhythm to add several friendly matches, which ended as follows: Parity 3-3 against Kriens, goalless draw against A. Lustenau, stumble 2-1 against Sandhausen and 4-4 match against Strasbourg).
On the other hand do not forget that the Swiss team lost 2-0 in Croatia, getting to be 0-0 until the minute 66 ‘of game. He is expected to risk in different moments of the game and to try to attack but without losing his calm, since some of the Croats would practically leave him out of the competition.
Osijek (Cro):
Continuing with the analysis you must know that Osijek comes from playing his first match in the new season of Croatian football, managing to equalize 1-1 against Rudes as a local (parity without goals in the first 45 ‘minutes of play). In the previous championship was placed in the fourth position, fact that shows us its hierarchy in this competition.
To finish we tell you that the Croats came to this instance after eliminating the humble EU Santa Coloma of Andorra, opponent to which they surpassed 0-2 of visit and 4-0 like local. He is expected to handle the times and try to take advantage of the spaces that could leave the Swiss in their quest to balance the tie.
After all this I play for the “more 1.5 goals” bet because of the following reasons: First because Swiss and Croatians are teams of similar level, being feasible to be able to alternate the ball and goal situations. Therefore, it is not surprising that they are trained to recover from a hypothetical initial disadvantage and that there is a goal in the first 45 minutes. Secondly because Luzern is a competitive picture between the lines, being feasible to take advantage of the local factor to advance its lines in a constant way. Logic indicates that you can score at least one goal, regardless of the outcome. And third because Osijek is a respected squad in the Croatian league, proving it in the first leg. Faced with this reality, we think that could score somewhat that would give practically the classification to the next stage competition.
