Season ticket holders at Stadio di Cornaredo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Lugano languishing in the 7th position so far. The guesting Servette will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Relegation threatens Lugano who should definitely be looking for some points here.
