Lausanne-Sport
The Swiss side drew with SK Sigma Olomouc in the first leg (1:1). That result leaves the tie finely poised. To avoid extra time, Lausanne-Sport need to win the return match. However, the team have just one win in their last five Conference League games (3 draws, 1 defeat). In addition, the club have failed to score more than once in each of their last six matches in this tournament.
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of the Swiss side’s last 8 Conference League matches.
- On home soil, the team are yet to lose in the Conference League (4 wins, 2 draws).
- In the club’s last six home games in this tournament, they have not conceded more than one goal.
Potential Lausanne-Sport Lineup (4-4-2)*
Karlo Letica – Sekou Fofana, Keven Mouanga, Karim Sow, Brandon Soppy – Olivier Custodio, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, Jamie Roche, Gaoussou Diakite – Omar Yanne, Nicky Beloko.

SK Sigma Olomouc
That draw in the previous match was the Czechs’ first in their last five Conference League games (2 wins, 2 defeats). It is worth noting that the team have scored in each of their last six matches in this tournament, but their run of conceding goals stretches to as many as 12 games. If the return leg also ends level, extra time will be required. At the same time, SK Sigma Olomouc have never drawn an away match in European competition in their history.
- Both teams to score has landed in the Czechs’ last six Conference League matches.
- In 9 of the team’s last 11 matches in international competition, they have not scored more than once.
- The club have lost 4 of their last 5 away games in European competition (1 win).
Potential SK Sigma Olomouc Lineup (4-4-2)*
Jan Koutny – Abdoulaye Silla, Matej Hadas, Jiri Slama, Matus Maly – Jan Kliment, Ahmad Ghali, Peter Barath, Michal Beran – Antonin Rusek, Daniel Sturm.

Lausanne-Sport vs SK Sigma Olomouc: Match Prediction
The Czechs enjoyed a significant advantage in the first leg, but they were unable to turn it into a large number of goals, even though their xG was almost three. Away from home, it will be even tougher for SK Sigma Olomouc: the club have failed to score more than once in 4 of their last 5 matches in international competition. Lausanne-Sport, meanwhile, allow very little at the back on home turf.
The first-leg result is unlikely to encourage an open approach in the return match. SK Sigma Olomouc will be cautious partly because of their away record, having lost 4 of their last 5 European away games, including defeat to a team from Gibraltar. Lausanne-Sport, meanwhile, are unbeaten at home in the Conference League, and the hosts are unlikely to want to spoil that record, especially in a knockout match.
The Swiss side should justify their favourites’ status in a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Lausanne-Sport, double chance + Under 3.5 goals
* For each team, the starting line-up listed is the XI from their previous match in this tournament.
