NextGOAL tip: Luzern +1 · 1 stars
Lugano and Luzern meet so often that this has become a well-known pairing, and in the last six meetings Lugano have taken the win five times. The only time Luzern held their own was the game last March, but this time it is different, because Lugano are leading the table with 25 points from 9 matches and are still unbeaten in the league, while Luzern are trailing on 12 points. Lugano have won 8 and drawn 1 from 9 matches, scoring 27 and conceding just 7 - numbers that show how tight their defence is, and in attack they do not rely on any one man. Luzern, meanwhile, have scored 17 but conceded 18, so they are a team that can open up and trade blows all game, but they get picked apart in the same way just as often. According to the expected line-ups, Daniel Mikolajewski and Oscar Kabwit should pair up front waiting to counter, while Lugano are likely to use Dereck Moncada as a lone striker, holding the ball up so the midfield can push forward. If Luzern score first, the game should open up into a long exchange, because Lugano will have to push up to chase the goal. But if Lugano take the lead first, Luzern will be forced to open up more, and the gaps in the middle will keep widening - which is exactly the moment Luzern's attack thrives on.
