FC Lugano
- The form book is against FC Winterthur heading into this Saturday’s Super League clash with FC Lugano and that makes the hosts the clear choice at 1.33.
- Lugano are third in the Super League going into this game and Winterthur are 12th and last, so the importance of this clash to both clubs couldn’t be greater with Lugano hoping to keep their momentum going and the visitors desperate to get the points to move out of the drop zone.
- Mattia Croci-Torti took over at Lugano in September 2021 and since then has installed a proactive, possession-based style of play that has made them a tough team to break down.
FC Winterthur
- Patrick Rahmen took over at Winterthur in October 2025 and has overseen a pragmatic blueprint that is geared towards keeping it tight and looking to counter-attack when possible.
- Winterthur will look to stay compact and absorb pressure before transitioning quickly and hitting Lugano on the counter-attack.
Head-to-Head
- FC Lugano have dominated the recent H2H record, winning each of the last 4 meetings between the sides in the Super League.
- Lugano are 3rd in the Super League table (36 points from 20 games), Winterthur are rock bottom (10 points from 19).
Key Players
- Kevin Behrens, who plays as a striker or number 10, is the team’s most dangerous player with eight Super League goals in 20 games, including five in his last five.
- Daniel Dos Santos is his creative linkman, providing three assists in the last five.
- Andrin Hunziker is Winterthur’s biggest threat, with six Super League goals in 18 appearances.
Betting Insights
- But the visitors at 8.4 are still too big to pass up as well considering the desperation that they should bring to the table.
- The bookmakers favour Lugano, but Winterthur are in poor form and have won none of their last five, drawing the last two, including a 0-0 Super League stalemate with St. Gallen.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.45 is heavily favoured, but the bookmakers may be expecting an open contest with plenty of chances, which may not be the case here.
Prediction
- Lugano’s Super League form has been much better than Winterthur’s this season and they can use their home advantage to good effect.
-
Recent home/away scoring:
- Lugano: average 1.90 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.10.
- Winterthur: averaged just 0.90 goals per away game in the Super League, scoring only 9 times in ten away trips.
- The hosts’ home advantage, superior quality and excellent recent H2H record make it likely that they can find enough of a margin to win this comfortably.
