In a game that ended 0-2, this team scored in each half, with goals from Mattia Bottani and Georgios Koutsias making the difference.

Lugano vs Basel Prediction 10 May 2025

Basel just look unstoppable right now and week in week out, they continue to display top quality performances. While they have played well in the league, this side has won more matches than any side in the league and either on the road or home fixtures, they remain unbeaten. On the other hand, Lugano have had some solid performances in this fixture, and while they returned to winning ways last weekend after a number of poor results, I feel they have a chance to take something out of this fixture. The two teams cannot be written off, especially considering how recent fixtures of this game have ended. Lugano looks like a side not ready to lose, and Basel should not struggle in attack with how many goals they have scored in a couple games to this. 

With Lugano at home, I will take this game to end in a draw while both teams score two goals each.

Our betting tip: is a 2-2 correct score with odds at 11.00 odds on Bet365 bookmaker.
