Winterthur vs Lugano Prediction: League leaders will extend their lead

Stadion Schützenwiese will host the Swiss Super League game between Winterthur and Lugano. The two teams have not had luck lately and will hope for a better result here. Below, I will give a preview of this game and make predictions. 

Winterthur

Winterthur's last league game was against Young Boys, and they settled for a goalless draw. In that encounter, this team had 35 per cent of the possession and attempted seven shots while failing to convert any. However, looking at the home side's recent games, they secured a win only once, coming against Vaduz in a friendly fixture. In other games, they lost to Luzern and Luzern while drawing Servette. This team headed into this game seated at the bottom of the standings with 14 points from 19 matches.  

Lugano

Lugano's last league encounter was against Basel, and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, Lugano went behind in the 24th minute, but a strike from the spot from Anto Grgic saw them level before the break. However, Albian Hajdari's strike put them in the lead in the 53rd minute before a minute Shaqiri strike denied them maximum points. Lugano head into this game with 32 points from 19 games. The league leaders have scored 32 goals this season while conceding 26.

Expert Betting Tips

Lugano are the favourites, and this is a game in which they need to retain their spot atop the standings. However, Winterthur are just below competitive this season, and regardless of Lugano's struggles in recent months, I expect luck to be on their end. Also, with the two teams being too weak in defence, I believe there will be goals in this game. 

My first option is a win for Lugano with odds at 1.85 on 1Xbet

My second option is a win for Lugano with both teams scoring with odds at 3.40 on Bet365

My last option is a bet on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.94 on Betway
