Lugano vs Basel prediction, odds and how to watch

Hannes Delcroix scored a hat-trick as Lugano dismantled a shambolic Lausanne Sport side 4-0, exposing every weakness a struggling home team has been hiding in plain sight.

St. Gallen took all three points at Basel despite being comprehensively outshot, winning 3-1 in a result that tells you everything about clinical finishing versus wasted opportunity. Basel created more, threatened more, and still lost. Unacceptable.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored twice in the second half to put the game beyond Luzern, as Basel ran out comfortable 4-2 winners in the Swiss Super League despite the home side hitting the woodwork and generating more shots overall.

Lugano's five-match winning run was halted as Young Boys fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw, with substitute Albian Ajeti's 80th-minute strike completing the comeback.

Maccabi Tel Aviv dominated nearly every department but could not find a winner, as Lugano substitute Dereck Moncada equalised in the 79th minute to earn a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Young Boys led twice and dominated large portions of the match but could not hold Basel out, as a 3-3 draw at home left points on the table and serious defensive questions unanswered.

Two teams who cannot keep a clean sheet between them meet on Sunday. Something has to give, and the evidence says it will probably be both defences at once.

Lugano arrive at this Swiss Super League fixture with five straight wins and serious momentum. Luzern have not lost in five but have drawn three of them, and that tells you everything you need to know about who is doing what here.
