Lugano (home)
- Lugano are in third place in the Super League 2025/2026 with 43 points from 25 games.
- There is always plenty of tactical intrigue when these teams clash, especially as the home side are stable under head coach Mattia Croci-Torti, who has been at the helm since September 2021.
- Lugano play with plenty of width in their 4-2-3-1 system, which creates overloads on the flanks and allows their creative midfielders to step forward into the final third - where Kevin Behrens has excelled with 10 Super League goals in 25 games.
Lausanne-Sports (away)
- Lausanne-Sports are in eighth with 30 points from the same number of games.
- Lausanne-Sports have won only three of their 12 away Super League fixtures.
- The visitors have been in poor form, failing to win any of their last five league games (D3, L2) and conceding eight goals in their two most recent matches - a 5-1 defeat at Thun and a 3-3 draw with Servette at home.
- Lausanne-Sports, meanwhile, have gone down the other route and pressed to win under Peter Zeidler, who was appointed in July 2025.
Head-to-Head
FC Lugano have drawn both of their last two home games against Lausanne-Sports, suggesting this fixture is rarely a cakewalk for the hosts.
Key Players
- Gaoussou Diakite is the club’s top scorer with six in 21, but he is usually the spark for their attacks to burst through from the middle of the field in a narrow formation.
- Omar Janneh has taken his game to another level, however, and now has three of their last seven to his name.
Betting Insights
- It’s no wonder, therefore, that the bookmakers have the home team at 2.0 and the visitors at 3.45 for Sunday’s game in Ticino.
- The Over 2.5 Goals market is priced at 1.62, which is very low for this Super League fixture, which has finished level in their previous two outings - 0-0 two months ago.
Prediction
- Both sides will be chasing three points and Lugano’s superior home form and stable club environment should see them just get there in a game that could see goals at both ends.
- They should edge it against a side in transition with poor away form, but Lausanne-Sports should make it interesting by pressing and potentially leaving gaps for Lugano to exploit.
