Final score: FC Lugano 2–1 Maccabi Tel Aviv

Match preview

FC Lugano faces Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa Conference League on August 20, 2026, with both sides desperate for a turnaround. Lugano arrives in dismal form, having lost all three of their opening league matches, scoring four but conceding nine. Their defensive frailties are a significant concern, and they'll need a much tighter display to stand any chance. Maccabi Tel Aviv's season has been equally challenging, reflected in their 25% win rate and a worrying five consecutive defeats in all competitions. While they've scored more goals (10) than Lugano, their concession rate of 26 goals in twelve matches highlights a porous backline. This fixture offers a crucial opportunity for either team to kickstart their European campaign. Watch for which manager can inspire their struggling side to a much-needed victory and a vital boost in confidence. A draw would do little to alleviate the pressure on either club.
