I think Lugano are heavy favorites here. There is no doubt they are the better team and I think they should win this game easily. Chiasso changed 15 players compared to last season, with all the key players leaving. In the last year in the meetings with Swiss lower-league teams, Lugano have 4 wins and a draw with Chiassa. They beat Semientina twice (7-0, 8-1), Servette (4-0) and Locarno 4-0). On the other hand, Locarno have defeats to Sion 3-0. Lugano played Sion, who beat Chiasso 3-0 in a test game), 4 times in the championship and won twice 3-1 and 4-2). They lost 5-1 and 2-0 away (Lugano finished one stop above SIon in the championship). Chiasso played Servetta in the championship 4 times and recorded 4 draws. Since a lot of players from last season left, I doubt the team is at the right level. They played a friendly a year ago and finished at 1-1. A lot of the players who were there for Chiasso back then are not there anymore. I doubt the new players can make up for them. Before that game, Lugano have three wins against them (4-1, 2-1 and 5-1) from the season 2014/2015. Details

I expect HJK to win this easily because they are a much better team that needs to win this. The first meeting was a surprise and that cannot happen again. They conceded one goal after no one reacted properly and not even the goal keeper moved. The shots on goal record was 4-27 for Helsinki and that says it all. Helsinki have nothing but wins in the domestic championship. They have 9 wins and a draw in the last 10 home games. Eight out of those nine wins were in handicap and 5 out of 8 by 3 or more goals. They scored 33 goals in those 10 games and conceded 2. One in the draw with Inter and in the win over Honka back in January. It might not be relevant but HJK played a Welsh team (Bangor City) in Champions League qualifiers and won the home game 10-0. The same Bangor City beat Connah's 2-1 this year. It was 2-1 and 1-1. Connah's, for exactly, lost the last three away meetings to the Welsh champions TNS 1-0, 3-0 and 5-0. I think HJK are at least a bit better than that TNS. Details

I expect Rijeka to win this game. This is the final test meeting before their Champions League qualifiers, they are expect to approach it seriously and try to win. Rijeka played all of their games so far at a high level, with the exception of Triglav game (1-1). We said it all about Celje already (a lot of players and sponsors left so they turned to young players) We can expect a lot of those young players to play today, as well as those who are here to be tested. Celje lost 3 out of 4 serious test games (Rubin 0-2, Viitorulo 2-3 and Ural 1-3). They beat only Brezice 2-0. Rijeka, on the other hand, have just wins and a draw against Triglav. They beat Lokomoitv M. 1-0, Astra 3-1 and Rabotinicki 2-0. Anything but their convincing win here would be a surprise. Details

Diosgyor are the favorites in this game. I think they have a better team, they won the two test games by two goals each (2-0, 4-2) and one of the opponents was the Slovakian top divisor team Tatran. The Hungarians could have won by more goals. The visitors don't have any test games yet and will probably be tired after a few practice sessions. Since this is the last game for the home team for now, they will do their best to successfully end it. Lokotiva lost 4 out of 6 friendly matches in handicap (over the past year) and recorded two draws. They lost to Hungarian third-tier Tiszaujvaros 6:3, to Diosgyor 2:0 to Slovakian side Zemplina 4:0. The draws were against Slovakian second and third-tier teams. Disogyor won 4 out of the last 5 friendly games in handicap and lost one to Hungarian second tier Nyiregyhaz 2-4-. Details

I expect a game similar to the one Celje played with Rubin (2-0). There is a lot of inexperienced players on the team and lack of quality. All of that was very obvious against Rubin, who controlled the game and won. I don't expect a much different game now. There is no doubt the visitors are a much better team. With the CL qualifiers coming up, the seriousness about these kind of games has increased. Celje have not won a friendly since February of 2015 and second-tier Triglav. Since then, they have 7 defeats and 7 draws. Vittorul have 6 wins and 2 defeats in the last 8 friendly games. One of those defeats was in Turkey when they lost to Inter Baku 2-1, the other one is from January of this year to Ural from Russia 0-1. If the Romanians take this seriously and they definitely will, anything but their convincing win would be a big surprise. Details

In this game, everything suggests the home team will win. Horoya would get just one step away from the next stage if they win and cannot afford to slip today. Their 1-0 win over Mounana two weeks ago is good for this tip. The home team rarely lose home. They have just one defeat in the last 46 games and just two draws in the last 31 games. Horoya tied their meetings with the other two opponents in the group, while Mounana lost both games in handicap. This competition is priority for Horoya since they are well ahead of everyone else in the championship (4 points ahead and 6 games less). The visitors, on the other hand, are in a close race for the top spot. Since they are without any points and with very slim chances of going through here, it's possible that the visitors are already focused on a league game coming up in 4 days. Details
