Hibernian and Luzern will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!
It's quite the trip for Luzern when visiting Hibernian as the cities are 1600 kilometers apart.
It's no vacation for neither Hibernian nor Luzern as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hibernian form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Europa Conference League for Hibernian, as the manager Johnson led his troops to eliminate Inter Club d'Escaldes, and reach the 3rd Qualifying Round. Hibernian participated in Europa Conference League the last season, where they reached the 3rd qualifying round and lost against Rijeka.The Hibernian followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Easter Road Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against St. Mirren. Doidge, a striker, was the champion performer for the side in that fixture, scoring a rating of 8.62 (out of 10). Doidge scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.
A home victory ahead of that match, as predicted. The team were huge favourites against Inter Club d'Escaldes and won 6-1.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hibernian as they are travelling to their away game against Motherwell in the Premiership. That match is three days after this one.
Luzern form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Djurgården in order to reach 3rd qualifying round of Europa Conference League. Luzern was sent out of Europa Conference League in the 3rd qualifying round last season, when Feyenoord turned out to be too strong.The Super League season is young and Luzern have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
Luzern lost away at St. Gallen (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Loretz was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.11. The agile goalkeeper Loretz saved a penalty.
Ahead of that, 1-1 at home against Djurgården in the Europa Conference League.
A quick return to home after this game, as Luzern are hosting Young Boys in the Super League only three days away.
