Lugano vs Young Boys Prediction 24 May 2025

These are two teams fighting for European football, and it is just difficult to write off what they can offer. Lugano playing at home will definitely feel confident they can force a win as a draw will not be enough to push them to Europe, provided either Lausanne or Luzern wins. On the other hand, Young Boys' Champions League hopes are not over, as Servette could also stumble, giving them a good chance to overcome their close rivals. In the meantime, the two teams need a lot to give especially with what is on the line. Young Boys have won the last two matches of this fixture, and while Lugano have also had their time, I believe the two teams will go head to head and with their recent meetings scoreline, I think this game is still the best to go all out for a win. Yet, I still believe Young Boys have the better team, and I do not see them lose at full time.
