Lugano hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 16 points and a 7th position in the Super League table. Visiting Servette holds 5th place with 21 pts.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus København, was also a home game here at Cornaredo. The away team is better rested.

Lugano form and stats

Lugano's struggle is real here at Cornaredo with only 3 points collected from 7 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-3-4. Lugano are slowly digging their own grave here at Cornaredo with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Thun match.

The Lugano crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to København here at Cornaredo in a Europa League match. Before that match, a Super League win away at Thun.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lugano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lugano as a small favourite), we find six games. Lugano has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 3.

Lugano has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 7 games. On the other hand, Lugano have conceded 9 goals.
