Expect goals in Lugano
The Super League has entered the home stretch and the stakes are incredibly high for FC Lugano and FC Thun’s title hopes on Saturday when Lugano host the table toppers in a match that promises to deliver plenty of goals. This FC Lugano vs FC Thun preview looks at two sides hungry for silverware and eager for a decisive result.
Lugano are a patient, possession-based team with a solid and stable base, but they have lacked the form to push the leaders recently with no wins in their last five, three draws and two defeats. Mattia Croci-Torti’s side play a 4-2-3-1 formation that looks to control the tempo and rhythm of the game through a strong presence in midfield, but they can be vulnerable to sides that press in the right spots and can then move into transition quickly.
Kevin Behrens is the team’s best outlet up top and has the best goalscoring record with 11 in 28 Super League games this season. FC Thun are led by the predatory Elmin Rastoder, who has 12 in 30 and could be the difference between the two sides on Saturday. For this reason, our FC Lugano vs FC Thun prediction takes into account both teams’ attacking threats.
Thun can press and possess
Thun have had a remarkable season with Mauro Lustrinelli’s direct and high-pressing style of play creating many turnovers in the middle third to aid a direct style of soccer. They’ve won 12 of their 15 away Super League matches this season, conceding just 16 goals, and they’ve earned some excellent results in their recent matches including a 5-1 victory over Grasshopper and a 2-1 win over Young Boys away from home.
Lugano have won nine, drawn three and lost three of their 15 home league matches this year, averaging 1.93 goals per game. The FC Lugano vs FC Thun prediction is also influenced by Lugano’s inability to win either of their previous two home meetings with Thun and by their 1-3 defeat to AC Taverne in a recent friendly.
Back the visitors for a win
There is nothing to split these two sides in their two Super League meetings this year, with Thun winning one and losing the other, but the away side arrive in much better form and have momentum to carry them to a victory on Saturday.
Lugano have struggled to score in recent weeks and it could be that Thun’s high pressing and direct attacking style suits them best, so I’m backing the visitors to win the match at 2.35 and I think there will be over 2.5 goals. Both Teams to Score - Yes is the favorite at 1.45. In summary, the best FC Lugano vs FC Thun betting tips point towards goals and an away win.
