Stress levels are on the rise for Lugano's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Amoura was their last goal scorer.
Lugano are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Basel. Amir Saipi had a busy but productive day in the Basel match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Amir Saipi, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.82 out of 10 in that game.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Zurich (0-1).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Super League game versus Servette in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadio di Cornaredo.

Young Boys form and stats
They also participated in Swiss Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.The visitors are W3-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Young Boys has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Young won their last game, 3-2 versus Lausanne Sport played at home. Midfield player Vincent Sierro was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Sierro hit four key passes and had 56 successful passes (of 65 total).
A loss against Villarreal was the result prior to that, in a Champions League home game.Young have another match away from home in just three nights, a Super League fixture versus St. Gallen. A difficult calendar for them!
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Young Boys alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (17 from 5 played). As opposed to that, Young Boys have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
