Lugano vs Basel Match Preview

Lugano is ranked in 4th place with 29 points and comes after a win three draws and a loss over the last five matches. Their current form is not the best but they are still inside the Europa League zone and in a direct duel like this their main goal will be to avoid a defeat.

With 32 goals scored so far they have shown a very good offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of six goals averaging at least a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters. Surprisingly enough they failed to score in a loss against the worst team in the league.

Celar has been leading their attack and is already in double digits with 10 goals - 3 assists followed by Steffen with 3 goals - 5 assists.

Basel, on the other side, is ranked in 6th place with 26 points and comes in a poor run after a single win two draws, and two losses over the last five matches. Right now they sit outside of the European Cups zone and will need a three-pointer here in order to catch up with the teams above them. Having secured a ticket for the last 16 in the UEFA Europa Conference League maybe will give the team that extra motivation to turn things around in the league too.

They have scored 29 goals so far performing a bit below their expectations this season and in the last five games scored a total of eight goals which means more than a goal per game while finding the back of the net in four duels.

Amdouni is leading Basel's attack with 6 goals - 3 assists and is followed by Zeqiri with 6 goals - 2 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Lugano in front of their fans needs to start winning games and has the advantage to be well-rested since they did not play in the midweek. Basel has got enough quality in their squad and despite the recent negative results, I guess they can net a goal as a minimum in this one.
