Lausanne-Sports
- Lausanne-Sports and FC Zurich occupy ninth and 10th positions in the table respectively, with the hosts five points better off on 39 points after 33 rounds of the regular Super League campaign.
- Each point is crucial in this condensed five-game section of the season, where both clubs will be desperate to retain their Super League status.
- Lausanne-Sports’ new managers are Markus Neumayr and Migjen Basha, the duo appointed after Peter Zeidler was dismissed to restore defensive discipline and capitalise on quick transitions.
FC Zurich
- FC Zurich’s interim manager Carlos Bernegger has a much deeper understanding of the Swiss top-flight and should be capable of tightening up the team’s defensive deficiencies while making the most of Philippe Kény’s strength in the penalty area.
- The striker’s double-digit goal tally this season will be crucial for FC Zurich’s survival chances, as Kény’s finishing, movement and strength will be key for the visitors.
Head-to-Head
- Lausanne-Sport have won three of the last six Super League H2Hs, winning the last two meetings 2-1 as away teams.
- In the most recent two H2Hs, Bair has come through with the goals that got the job done.
Key Players
- Matteo Di Giusto is among the top assist providers in the Swiss Super League.
- Lausanne-Sports’ attack is led by Theo Bair, who also has double-digit goal involvements this season.
- He is in fine form and has good support from the likes of Omar Janneh and Seydou Traoré, who have been productive in recent wins.
- The striker’s double-digit goal tally this season will be crucial for FC Zurich’s survival chances, as Kény’s finishing, movement and strength will be key for the visitors.

Betting Insights
The odds on the ‘Both teams to score - Yes’ market of 1.44 makes no sense, given both teams have been poor at the back recently and have some attacking talent to get forward and cause problems.
Prediction
- With Lausanne-Sports’ recent dominance of the H2H records, home advantage and FC Zürich’s poor form, I’m going for a Lausanne-Sports win with the draw no bet option, as this could be a cagey matchup with so much at stake.
- As such, I’m selecting Lausanne-Sports to edge the game 2-1, as they have in each of their two most recent meetings.
