Neuchâtel Xamax Lugano betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The perspective is for a balanced game, between two teams that have not started well in the championship, but have been distancing themselves in the last matches, due to the reaction shown by the Lugano team. Playing at home, Neuchâtel Xamax will necessarily have to take some risks, looking for a win that will allow them to move away from the bottom of the standings. Looking ahead, Lugano will be on the upswing, with clear recent defensive improvements, something that could bring Jacobacci's team close to a positive result away from home.

Preview
Neuchâtel Xamax and Lugano face at Stade de la Maladière, in a match for the 17th round of the Super League. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 29‑09‑2019, Neuchâtel Xamax got an away win by (0‑1). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 6 matches they won 2 and tied 4. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 9th and 7th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 9th best team in home matches and the 4th best in away matches.

Analysis Xamax

The home team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 2 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against St. Gallen, by (4‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Zürich, by (0‑1). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 7 points in away matches and only 5 at their stadium. For the league, Neuchâtel Xamax won 5 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The bad times of Neuchâtel Xamax continued on the last day, leaving Joel Magnin's side unable to leave their post that gives access to the maintenance play-offs at the end of the season, currently three points behind them are Thun. Xamax's defensive permeability has been the team's biggest setback in the run of this season's championship, something that added to the ineffectiveness in the last match at last Saturday's home game against Zurich (1-0). With the defeat, Neuchâtel Xamax aggravated the crisis scenario of recent weeks, not only because it added the third consecutive defeat in the championship, but also the fifth straight game without adding any victory in the various competitions. Joel Magnin's team seem to have even accused the humiliating elimination of Schweizer Pokal against Lausanne (6-0).

Confirmed Lineup: Laurent Walthert, Andre Neitzke, Mārcis Ošs, Mike Gomes, Igor Djuric, Léo Seydoux, Freddy Mveng, Pietro Di Nardo, Maren Haile-Selassie, Raphael Nuzzolo, Gaetan Karlen.
Coach: U. Forte.

Analysis Lugano

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Thun, by (0‑3). In the last match, they won in a home match against Servette, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 6 at their stadium, with 3 goals scored and 9 conceded at home, against 14 goals scored and 9 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Lugano has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 5 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

The change of coach in charge of Lugano, with the arrival of Italian Maurizio Jacobacci to replace the Swiss Fabio Celestini, really seems to have had the desired effect, at least judging by the reaction of the team internally, this is because in the Europa League , Lugano have not been able to postpone the qualifying decision until the last round of the group stage, losing bt 1-0 at last Thursday's Copenhagen reception. In any case, in the Swiss Superleague the team comes from two consecutive wins, first 3-0 at Thun and, more recently, against Servette, by 1-0, with goal by Brazilian striker Carlinhos opening the second part. A goal that allowed Lugano to be the winning team, in a mostly balanced game and with good occasions to finish side by side.

Confirmed Lineup: Noam Baumann, Eloge Yao, Numa Lavanchy, Linus Obexer, Fabio Daprelà, Ákos Kecskés, Miroslav Čovilo, Bálint Vécsei, Filip Holender, Marco Aratore, Olivier Custodio.
Coach: M. Croci-Torti.
