The match

A comprehensive 3-0 win in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League has given Espanyol one foot in the play-off, as they get ready to host FC Luzern. The Barcelona-based hosts have now won five of their six matches this season (W5, D1) including the pre-season friendlies. That included a 7-1 aggregate win in the previous round of the Europa League. The Spanish side hasn’t lost in the Europa League since 2006, not considering the 2007 Europa League final loss to Sevilla on penalties. In fact, Espanyol haven’t made it to the competition since then. With a comfortable 3-0 lead in the first leg, they look set to make it to the playoffs. That is, considering, Luzern have lost their last three matches failing to score in each of those. The Swiss visitors have won the previous round 2-0 on aggregate, winning both the legs 1-0. However, that remains their only away win in the Europa League in seven attempts (W1, D1, L5). For a side that needs at least three goals to extend their presence in this year tournament, Luzern haven’t scored more than one goal in their seven Europa League away games.

Key Statistics

Espanyol haven’t lost in regular time for 18 Europa League matches (W14, D4).
Espanyol have won their last eight Europa League home matches, since their last loss in 2006.
Luzern have failed to score in five of their last seven Europa League away matches.

The bet of our experts

Espanyol have taken a huge stride in the competition with a 3-0 win in the first leg. They are trying to play in the Europa League for the first time since 2007 when they were beaten runners-up to Sevilla. They have an impressive home record too and should have no problem in winning this home leg against Luzern. The visitors have a huge mountain to climb, and it looks highly unlikely that Luzern will overturn that deficit.
