Servette U21 vs Lugano II tips and predictions

Mental strength to be key for Servette U21

Servette U21 to win. Value-hunters will give a wide berth to those odds on an away win.

You may not agree but Servette U21 might have reasons to be confident about adding to Lugano II's recent defeats. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 9 losses from their last 10 away matches. That might not be suitable preparation for this.

The home players are finding some form on their own soil. Servette U21 have scored at least once in 19 of their recent 20 home matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. In defence they have conceded no more than once in 2 of their last 3 home games.

Lugano II have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They actually conceded three or more goals in 8 of their last 10 away matches. But their problems don't seem to be isolated to the first-third of their formation. In front of goal, the visitors have looked underwhelming. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 7 away matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first out of the blocks. The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act as they can both be effective in front of goal. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks slightly more tempting on this occasion. What about total goals? Well it's Under 1.5 Goals for this one given these prices.
