Lausanne vs Lugano Prediction: Expect a competitive encounter from the two teams

In round 5 of the Swiss Super League, Lausanne will play host to Lugano at Stade de la Tuilière. The two teams ended on the winning side in their last encounter. Below are the full match previews and betting opportunities. 

The previous time out, Lausanne played Aemme in the Swiss Cup round 1/16 and secured a win. In that game, Lausanne were up 0-1 at halftime, with Teddy Okou finding the back of the net for this side. In the meantime, two second-half goals from Karim Sow and a 75th-minute Teddy Okou goal were enough to give this team a win. However, this team held Young Boys to a 1-1 draw in their prior league game on the road. In five matches played this season, Lausanne has four points, scoring seven goals while conceding thirteen. 

The previous time out, Lugano played against Rapperswil in the Swiss Cup round 1/16, and this side won 1-3. In that encounter, Lugano settled for a goalless draw at halftime, but goals from Milton Valenzuela, Daniel Dos Santos, and Mattia Bottani were enough to see them take maximum points. In the meantime, Lugano's last league encounter was against St. Gallen, and they settled for a 1-1 draw. Lugano is seated in the 5th spot in the league standings with ten goals after round 5 matches played, scoring ten goals and conceding seven.

The two teams have yet to have consistent performances this season and will need to give their best in this game. While Lausanne was brilliant against Young Boys in their last league game, their overall season performances have not been convincing. On the other hand, Lugano, being on the road, will not have it easy either. Regardless, I expect the two teams to approach this game with strong attacking plays, and a bet on goals is a good option. Also, while I expect Lausanne to end their run of poor performances, I will back them to take maximum points in this crucial home game.
