- Lausanne-Sports are on a 5-match unbeaten streak (W3, D2) ahead of Sunday’s visit to Luzern.
- Luzern have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against Lausanne-Sports.
- Luzern have conceded 8 goals in 4 home Super League games (average 2.00 per game).
Zeidler’s men can be a real handful
The FC Luzern vs Lausanne-Sports prediction becomes especially intriguing this weekend, as FC Luzern, currently 7th in the Super League standings with 12 points from 8 matches, have had a mixed run of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 matches in all competitions. Luzern’s last 3 games saw them thump 6-0 in the Swiss Cup, then grind out a 2-1 away win at FC Basel in the Super League before battling out a wild 3-3 draw at home to FC Sion Sitten.
In each of these matches, the players of Mario Frick have shown their high-energy, vertical nature with rapid transitions and immediate forward play off turnovers. However, whilst they have been scoring plenty, they have also conceded plenty. Luzern are yet to record a home victory in four games in the Super League this season (D2, L2).
The FC Luzern vs Lausanne-Sports preview shows that Lausanne-Sports sit 10th in the Super League table with eight points from eight games and are also without a win in 4 away matches, although they have drawn two of these. They come into this game in great form, however, with 5-0 and 3-0 wins in their last two games, respectively, against BSC Young Boys Bern and Breidablik Kopavogur in the Conference League.
A tactical and exciting contest
Lausanne-Sports, who have not beaten Luzern in this fixture (W0, D3, L2 over the last 5 H2H meetings), are an organised and tenacious side under Peter Zeidler. His tactical tweaks and installation of a compact, aggressive high-press have brought a recent upturn in form since he took the reins this summer.
This FC Luzern vs Lausanne-Sports betting tips section highlights that Lausanne-Sports play a diamond midfield that suffocates teams and relies on high-intensity pressing, whilst their quality in transition and counter-attack has seen them rack up goals of late. Thelonius Bair is in blistering form with 5 goals in his last 5 appearances, whilst Gaoussou Diakite has been clinical for them so far this term with 3 in 5 Super League appearances.
Goals at either end on the cards
The odds are very slightly against Zeidler’s team here at 2.75, with Luzern at 2.35 and the draw at 3.6, but given that the visitors are in better form, our FC Luzern vs Lausanne-Sports prediction leans toward the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.57. This has been a close encounter in recent years with a 1-1 draw at this venue in the Super League last season. Zeidler’s diamond and high-pressing system will go head-to-head with Frick’s verticality in what should be an end-to-end game with both defences exposed.
Lausanne-Sports have been solid on the road this Super League season, but they’re conceding an average of 1.50 and scoring just 0.75 per away game. Meanwhile, Lucas Ferreira is Luzern’s main attacking threat with 4 Super League goals in 8 appearances this campaign.
