Lugano vs Basel Prediction: both teams will score in this match

Lugano will take on Basel in round 10 of the Swiss Super League. The home team will look to build on their last two consecutive wins over Servette and Breitenrain, while Basel will be focused on recovering from their shocking loss to Slovan Bratislava in the Europa Conference League Group Stage Round at their home last Thursday. 

Following their previous result, Lugano will be hoping for more of the same after claiming a 1-0 victory over Servette FC in the Super League. Lugano had 49% of the possession in that game, and they had seven shots on goal, with only 2 finding the target. Jonathan Sabbatini was the only player from Lugano to register a score at the 35-minute mark. On the other side of the field, Servette had 12 shots on goal, but only three were on target. At least three goals have been scored in the previous five-a-half matches that Lugano has participated in. In these matches, Lugano scored 14 goals while the other teams in the competition only managed 8. While we put the past results to the side for a moment, only time will tell if that pattern has a chance of continuing into the next match.

FC Basel 1893 and their supporters will be hoping for a different outcome after the team's previous Conference League match against Slovan Bratislava ended in a loss. Slovan Bratislava got goals from Pauschek in the 36th minute and Aleksandar Cavaric in the 45th minute. In the last six matches that FC Basel 1893 has participated in, there have been a total of 22 goals scored, which results in an average of 3.67 goals scored per game played by the team. This demonstrates the team's preference for high-scoring contests. Seven of these targets have been scored on by opposing teams. Ahead of this matchup, FC Basel 1893 has not suffered a defeat at the hands of Lugano in either of the previous two league matches that took place away from their home stadium. 

During their recent matches, 13 goals were scored between them, with Basel being responsible for 9 of those goals and Lugano contributing 4. That works out to an average of 2.17 goals scored per contest. FC Basel 1893 defeated Lugano 2-0 in the previous league match between these two teams, which took place on match day 5 of the Super League on August 14, 2022. The final score of that game was 0-2. However, in light of the recent showings of both teams, we will base our expectations on a different possible outcome. It is anticipated that the total number of goals scored by Lugano and Basel will exceed 2.5.
