Lugano will try to put an end to their three-game losing streak when they host Winterthur on Sunday. The hosts are in fourth place with 42 points, six behind leaders Servette. In the last round, Lugano lost 1-2 to Sion, extending their negative streak. However, their home performance is solid - nine wins in 14 matches and only two losses. Winterthur are in the lower part of the standings with just 20 points and are fighting to survive. In the last round, they lost 1-2 to Aarau, continuing their poor form away from home. They are on a 17-game winless streak as guests and have not won away since April 2024.
Lugano dominate in direct clashes
Lugano are undefeated in their last seven matches against Winterthur. In their last encounter in January, Lugano won 3-2 as guests. The hosts demonstrate stability in attack at home, scoring an average of two goals per match in their last five home games. Winterthur, on the other hand, have serious problems in defense. They have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six matches, and in their last three away games, they have consistently suffered losses.
Bet on over 2.5 goals
Both teams show weaknesses in defense, but compensate with efficiency in attack. The last six matches of Lugano at home have ended with at least three goals, and Winterthur have also been involved in high-scoring games lately. Over 2.5 goals seems like a reasonable choice for this match.
