Lausanne vs Lugano Prediction: The home team to decide their European football possibility

Lausanne vs Lugano: Prediction and odds on the Match on 18 May 2025

Stade de la Tuilière will be the venue for the Swiss Super League match between Lausanne and Lugano in the Championship Group. The two teams are coming off a defeat in their last game and will hope for a better result here. Which team wins this one? Below, I will preview this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

Lausanne: Forms and Statistics

Lausanne could not get a point in their game against Basel despite their solid play and will eye a win in this one. In that encounter, Jamie Roche put this team in the lead 13 minutes after kickoff but they went behind before the break. However, a second half goal by Mamadou Kaly Sene was only a consolation as this team went behind 1-3 in the 55th minute. However, that defeat was Lausanne’s second in two of their last four matches, having also lost to Basel after extra time in the Swiss Cup semi final. Ahead of this game, Lausanne have lost only one of their last four home matches where they picked up three wins in other encounters. 

Lausanne: Team News and Expected Lineup

Four first team players will not be available for Ludovic Magnin in this game. Sékou Fofana, Noë Dussenne, Marvin Senaya and Alvyn Sanches are the players on the list for this side. 

🔖 Lausanne Expected Lineup (4-3-3)

Karlo Letica (GK), Raoul Giger, Kevin Mouanga, Karim Sow, Morgan Poaty, Koba Koindredi, Jamie Roche, Olivier Custodio, Teddy Okou, Kaly Sene, Fousseni Diabaté

⛔️Unavailable: Sékou Fofana, Noë Dussenne, Marvin Senaya, Alvyn Sanche (all injured)

👤 Head Coach: Ludovic Magnin 

Lugano: Form and Statistics

Lugano have lost three of their last four league matches and will head into this game seeking redemption. In that run, Lugano's lone win was against Luzern, ending 0-2 with Mattia Bottani and Georgios Koutsias striking for them. However, last time out against Servette, this team was thrashed with an own goal by Keigo Tsunemoto being the only consolation in a 4-1 contest. However, this team has won twice in their last five matches away from home, while losing the three others. Ahead of this game, Lugano have lost four of their last six matches, while drawing St. Gallen in that run. With 51 points, a win could see them climb to the European qualification spot for the Conference League. 

Lugano: Team News and Expected Lineup

Things are not looking pretty for Mattia Croci-Torti as he will have six first team players unavailable for this contest. Renato Steffen and Lukas Mai are out due to injury. However, Uran Bsilimi and Mattia Zanotti will miss this game due to accumulated yellow cards. 

🔖 Lugano Expected Lineup (3-4-2-1)

Sebastian Osigwe (GK), Antonios Papadopoulos, Albian Hajdari, Ayman El Wafi, Zachary Brault-Guillard, Anto Grgic, Ousmane Doumbia, Yanis Cimignani, Daniel Dos Santos, Mattia Bottani, Shkelqim Vladi

Lausanne vs Lugano Prediction 18 May 2025

Lugano have struggled so much in recent matches but it is just difficult to write them off looking at the possibility of European football which should be a momentum boost. On the other hand Lausanne are in a slightly better position while looking at their recent performances but their defense has been very weak. While I expect Lausanne to take advantage of their turf, I do not see this game not producing goals. 

Our match prediction: is over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.63 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip: is a win for Lausanne and both teams to score with odds at 3.50 on Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final match prediction: is Lausanne to score over 1.5 goals with odds at 1.75 on Betway bookmaker.
