Zurich vs Lugano Prediction: Both teams can't afford to drop points

Zurich and Lugano will square it off at the Letzigrund in this Swiss Super League encounter. Both teams head into this game following a win. Which side keeps things going?

Zurich secured a win over Servette last time out, an encounter that ended 2-1. In that game, Zurich had to come from behind to take maximum points, with Antonio Marchesano and Bledian Krasniqi's goals being crucial for this side. However, a look at this side's last five games has seen them win two, one other coming against Winterthur. However, this team lost to Lausanne, St. Gallen, and Young Boys in other games in that run, scoring zero and conceding four in those matches. This season, Zurich have 54 points from 36 matches, leaving them 4th in the standings.

Lugano were brilliant last week against Winterthur, securing a 4-2 win. In that game, three second-half goals from this side were good enough to complement their 1-1 draw at halftime, securing them their fifth win in six consecutive games. In that run, this team's lone defeat was against St. Gallen, a 0-1 home defeat. However, this side defeated Grasshoppers, Lausanne, Sion, and Young Boys in that same run. This season, Lugano have accumulated 65 points from 36 matches, leaving them 6 points behind the first-place Young Boys. 

The two teams are great and have a good chance of winning. This is going to be a close look at how well they have performed this season, and while they look sharp offensively in the last two games, we can expect something better from them. However, Lugano are a lot better this season and have been in hot form in the last games. Take the road team to win this game while expecting goals from the two sides.
