FC Zurich - FC Lugano predictions and free betting tips [20/05/2024]

Today at 16:00, the stadium "Letzigrund" in Zurich will host a Swiss Super League match between Zurich and Lugano.

Current form of Zurich

On 15 May, Zurich demonstrated a high level of play against Servette, finishing the match with a 2:1 victory. This was a significant achievement for the team. Currently, Zurich sits 4th in the Super League standings with 54 points from 36 games. The team has recorded 14 wins, 12 draws, and 10 losses, scoring 49 goals and conceding 39. The team's recent form (2 wins and 3 losses) indicates that their latest matches have not been the easiest. However, the recent win against Servette has solidified their standing. This victory is particularly significant in the context of the battle for a Champions League spot. Given that Servette is in 3rd place with 61 points, a win over a direct competitor keeps Zurich's hopes alive for high positions and participation in European tournaments.

Current form of Lugano

In their last match on 16 May, Lugano showcased an excellent performance, securing a convincing 4:2 victory over Winterthur. This win helped the team solidify their position in second place in the Swiss Championship, reinforcing their status as one of the season's leaders. The team has amassed 65 points from 36 matches, with 20 wins, 5 draws, and 11 losses. With a total goal difference of 66:47, Lugano has displayed a vivid and productive game. Their last 5 matches, featuring four wins and one loss, confirm their excellent form and ambitions in the fight for the champion's throne. Winterthur concludes the season in 6th place with 49 points, having an equal number of wins and losses, with 13 each.

Prediction for the Match: Zurich vs Lugano

Lugano theoretically has chances for gold if Young Boys slip up. I am betting on the visitors with a (0) handicap, as Zurich often loses to more classically stronger opponents, as shown in their recent matches in the championship group.
