FC Lugano vs Grasshopper Club Zurich Prediction & Betting Tips - Super League
by Sridhar in Football Predictions
Lugano's push for an improved title challenge will see them host last season's relegation battlers, Grasshopper Zurich, as the Swiss Super League kicks off this weekend. This match will be played at the Cornaredo Stadium on Saturday, with a prediction of a likely home win.
This is the first match of the season, and both teams have contrasting objectives and forms going into this match. Lugano have an upcoming Champions League second qualifying round match against Fenerbahce to start planning for. The hosts finished second last season in the league, a whopping 12 points behind the winners, the Young Boys, and only one point ahead of Servette. As they look to do better in the title race, Lugano have done well in the pre-season friends, winning three of four.
Grasshoppers do not have happy memories of last season, having had to go through the relegation play-off to save their top-flight status. They finished the regular season in 11th place with 38 points, seven behind the safety zone. In a tight play-off match, they defeated second-division side Thun 3-1 on aggregate, drawing 1-1 at home and winning 2-1 away from home.
Interestingly, it was their away form that gave them away last season in the top flight. The Grasshoppers have failed to win any of their last ten away league games, losing six and failing to score in seven of those ten. Even in the pre-season this year, they failed to score in two of their last three friends.

Our FC Lugano vs Grasshopper Club Zurich Prediction
Last season was a tough one for the Grasshoppers, who had to go through the relegation play-off to maintain their top-flight status. A better start to this season will go a long way in giving them confidence, but their form coming into this match isn't encouraging. They have lost two of their last three friends, while Lugano have won three of their last four. As they look to improve on their second-place finish last season, Lugano will target a good start, which is within their reach. Our Lugano vs Grasshopper Club Zurich prediction is a win for Lugano.
