Servette vs Lugano Prediction: This match can go in either team’s favor

Wankdorf Stadium will host this Swiss Cup final encounter between Servette and Lugano. Both teams have had top-level performances up to this stage of the competition and will have high hopes for this one. Which side lifts this trophy?

Servette

Servette will hope to show class and quality in this game as this team has consecutive wins over Lugano. In their last league game on the final day, Servette were brilliant and good enough to score twice against this same side. In that game, Jeremy Guillemenot's brace was all that was needed to finish the season on a high note. However, it is worth noting that the three games played by Servette before that win saw this team lose to Zurich and Young Boys while they drew St. Gallen. Last time in this competition, Servette played Winterthur in the semifinal encounter, securing a 0-1 win on the road. While they are slightly favored to win again, we can expect Servette to be at their best, display class, and give this game all it needs to win. 

Lugano

Lugano will now focus on winning this competition, having finished second in the regular season with 65 points. The last time this team played Servette, they struggled in a home game and will need extra effort to prove themselves here. In the meantime, Lugano have lost three of their last five matches, contrasting the side we saw from February till late April, where they did not lose a single of ten matches. Looking at their semifinal encounter against Sion, Yanis Cimignani and Zan Celar’s goals secured this final spot for them with a win in that encounter. Heading into this game, Lugano will hope to turn the tables and defeat a strong Servette side they have failed to win in any of their last eight meetings. 

Expert Betting Tips

Without being biased, Servette have the edge, especially considering that they have dominated this fixture in recent times. However, the road team has a better performance in this competition, and looking at where they finished this season in the league standings, it is practically hard to write them off. This should be an open encounter, and both teams should be able to find the back of the net while Servette wins the trophy.
