Lugano vs Stade Nyonnais tips and predictions

Fun times not certain for Lugano

With the gulf in class between the sides, the hosts are expected to get through this. But perhaps this will not be as cut-and-dried as it seems. Stade Nyonnais can upset the odds here but it's really not a strong prediction. It is largely due to the short Lugano price making them a major turn-off from a betting point of view.

The hosts are thought to have a watertight win here but it might not be that simple. Lugano have been somewhat unreliable. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games as hosts. In the most part they've got away with it but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They conceded three or more goals in 5 of their last 17 home matches. Maybe this lends some additional evidence for the upset.

Stade Nyonnais are frequently showing what what they are capable of on their day. Impressively, they've scored two or more goals in 5 of their last 10 away fixtures. If they're expecting to have the slightest chance they'll have to contribute more goals to that number. It will be a big ask. They have conceded no more than once in 5 of their last 6 away matches. While they are facing a huge challenge there is still some justification for the visitors to come through this test at the big price.

If Lugano are to justify their short price they may come out eager to maintain a clean sheet. It might not be the best value among the current fixture list but the No BTTS bet seems sensible. Everything in this preview will rest on how the visitors cope with a level of football they aren't used to.

Stade Nyonnais have won 2 of the last 3 games between the sides.
