Competition: Switzerland Super League
Date: Sun 27.October
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Cornaredo (6390 seats)

Struggling Lugano will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying St. Gallen in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Malmö FF, so at least Lugano are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Lugano form and stats

0-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Lugano, who have the fewest scored goals (1) at home in Super League, so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager F. Celestini led his Lugano to a defeat in the Europa League match away at Malmö FF. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Cornaredo. Before that, Lugano drew at home versus Zürich.

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 1 and lost 2.

The lack of attacking qualities in Lugano means that they have only scored 1 goal in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Lugano have conceded only 3 goals.
