Prediction
We believe that Grasshopper Club Zürich can break through this Lugano team’s defense, but realistically, they won’t give up as many goals.
We anticipate that both teams will score, giving Lugano a 2-1 advantage at the end. In either case, there shouldn’t be much to it.

Amir Saipi, Milton Valenzuela, Fabio Daprela, Kreshnik Hajrizi, Allan Arigoni, Mohamed Amoura, Ousmane Doumbia, Jonathan Sabbatini, Ignacio Aliseda, Mattia Bottani, and Renato Steffen are all candidates for Lugano’s 4-4-2 formation for this match.
Grasshopper Club Zürich supervisor Giorgio Contini has some ongoing player wellness concerns. Georg Margreitter (Sick), Francis Momoh (Knee Medical procedure), Tsiy William Ndenge (Obscure Injury) and Guilherme Schettine (Obscure Injury) won’t play here.
