Lugano vs Grasshopper Prediction & Preview
Preview
The Swiss Super League is back, and what a way to kick it off! Lugano, led by coach Mattia Croci-Torti, welcome Grasshopper, managed by Marco Schallibaum, to Stadio di Cornaredo on Saturday at 16:00. This is the first round of the competition, and both teams are looking to start their campaign on a high note.
Lugano, currently sitting in 4th place with 0 points, will be relying on their home advantage to secure three points. They have a decent record against Grasshopper, with two wins and one draw in their last five head-to-head matches. The most recent encounter between the two teams ended in a 1-0 win for Lugano at Stadion Letzigrund back in April.
In terms of form, both teams are yet to play a competitive match this season, so it's difficult to gauge their current performance levels. However, looking at their pre-season friendlies, Lugano drew 0-0 against Lugano II at home, while Grasshopper lost 1-0 to Rheindorf Altach away.
Statistically, Lugano has an edge over Grasshopper. They score an average of 2 goals per game and concede only 0.6 goals per game, making them a formidable force at home. In fact, when playing at Stadio di Cornaredo, they score an average of 1.67 goals per game and concede just 0.67 goals per game.
Bet
Considering the stats and recent head-to-head record, Lugano looks like a solid bet for this match. With odds of 1.7, a home win seems like a good value bet. Grasshopper's away form is not impressive, scoring an average of 0.67 goals per game and conceding two goals per game on the road.
While the draw is always a possibility, especially with odds of 3.8, I would recommend backing Lugano to take advantage of their home ground and superior goal-scoring ability.
