[Football- Switzerland 'Super League'] 20.7/ 20:30 Lugano-Grasshoppers
Despite losing their top scorer, Zan Celar, FC Lugano still possesses significant goal-scoring potential, also particularly from their wingers and midfielders. Players like Renato Steffen, Uran Bislimi and Shkelqim Vladi have consistently demonstrated their ability to find the back of the net.
On the other hand, Grasshoppers have lost two of their key offensive players, Bradley Fink and Francis Momoh, who were crucial in creating scoring opportunities. Moreover, they haven't made any notable signings to fill these gaps.
Lugano has not lost a home game against Grasshoppers since 2017. This long-standing home advantage could play a crucial role in today's match.
Lugano's squad is valued at twice that of Grasshoppers, reflecting a higher overall quality. Additionally, Lugano finished as runners-up last season, while Grasshoppers narrowly avoided relegation.
A Swiss football data analyst's model, which boasts a 52% accuracy rate in predictions, forecasts a 74% chance of a Lugano victory.
The only uncertainty lies in the fact that this is the first game of the new season, which brings some unpredictability regarding line-ups and form. However, Lugano's recent 3-1 victory against the Serie A team Parma in their last friendly match suggests they are in good shape.
