Lugano vs Zurich Prediction: An action packed match

This round 14 Swiss Super League match will take place at Cornaredo Stadium and will feature Lugano taking on Zurich. Both teams come into this encounter having just suffered a loss in their league matches. Which side, in your opinion, is more likely to emerge victorious from this contest? 

After losing their previous match in the Conference League against Club Brugge by a score of 2-0, Lugano will be looking for a better outcome this time around. In recent years, Lugano's defense has only rarely been able to keep their opponents at bay for 90 minutes. The fact here is that Lugano have allowed their opponents to score in five of their last six games, resulting in a total of 10 goals being conceded to their opponents. Lugano has not been victorious in either of their last two matches played at home in league play before this clash.

After suffering a defeat in their most recent Super League match against Servette, Zurich will be looking to turn things around here. During that game, Zurich had 59% possession of the ball and 9 shots on goal, with 3 of them finding the back of the net. On the other side of the field, Servette had 16 shots on goal, with six of them being on target. Both Chris Bedia and Steve Rouiller scored for Servette; Bedia's goal came in the fourth minute and Rouiller's in the 62nd. The Zurich team captained by Bo Henriksen was successful in scoring nine goals during the course of their most recent set of six matches, thanks to the conversion of nine of their attacks into goals. There have been a total of six goals scored against them throughout the corresponding time period, making the total number of goals scored against them six. Taking a look at the statistics before the game, we can see that Zurich has not been successful against Lugano in any of the three league matches that have taken place away from their home stadium.

While Lugano has not posed a threat recently, I do not believe that they will be able to halt Zurich on the road. Having said that, the performance of the away team as a whole suggests that they have some issues as well. As a result, I believe that Zurich will only pull off a victory on the road by the skin of their teeth in this contest.
