Yverdon vs Lugano Prediction: Lugano’s title hopes are not over

Stade Municipal will host the Swiss Super League encounter between Yverdon and Lugano. The two teams last meeting was last December, and it ended in Lugano’s favour. Can Yverdon win this one at home? I will preview this game in the following sections and offer a prediction.

Yverdon

Yverdon played Sion the previous weekend, and they could only take a point at full time. In that encounter, Yverdon had just 40 percent of the possession, attempting 16 shots with 6 on target. While they took the lead through Marley Ake’s strike, Antonio Marchesano missed a goal from the spot to extend this team lead before their opponent levelled in the second half. In the meantime, Yverdon have gone unbeaten in their last four matches. In that run, Yverdon drew Luzern while picking wins over Servette and Winterthur. This season, Yverdon have 32 points from 29 matches, leaving them seated 10th in the standings.

Lugano

Lugano's last league game was against Servette, and they lost. In a 0-2 contest, this team had 57 per percent of the possession and attempted 16 shots with ten on target, which they failed to convert. In the meantime, a look at Lugano’s recent matches has ended with only two wins, one against Celje in the Conference Cup and a league encounter against Winterthur. Away from home, Lugano have lost five consecutive matches. In that run, Lugano played St. Gallen, Young Boys, Biel, Celje, and Sion. Ahead of this game, Lugano have 45 points from 29 matches, leaving them six points adrift of first-placed Servette.

Expert Betting Tips

Yverdon have been impressive, but this is another tough game against another solid side which they need to take seriously. On the other hand, Lugano's level of play in this fixture have been on another level, picking four wins from their last five meetings. However, these two teams will be focused on winning, but this game has ended with less than three goals lately. This will be a close contest, and with the visiting team expected to be the better team, I will back Lugano to win.
