Lugano take on the visitors Sion in the round 1 match of Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Sunday, July 17th at Stadio di Cornaredo (Lugano).
Lugano finally took the trophy last season. The Bianconeri are unstable, and until 2015 they hung out in the 2nd division of the country for a very long time. But then they managed not only to gain a foothold at this level, but also periodically took quite high third places. And even twice, in 2017 and 2019, the Swiss played in the group stage of the Europa League, though without much success. Last championship in this regard, only 4th place was taken (and again). But, most importantly, they managed to win the Swiss Cup - this is the first serious success in almost 3 decades, after 1993 and a similar success. Curious what Croci-Torti, a 40-year-old specialist, will show in his second year here?

Sion in the last draw, not without difficulty, avoided the struggle for survival. The "Red-white" were good mostly at the end of the last century. Then they took both of their championship titles, in 1992 and 1997. The last serious successes were in the cup - in 2011 and 2015. The last success, by the way, allowed them to take part in the Europa League. There, the Swiss were able to become 2nd in the company with Liverpool, Bordeaux and Rubin, but in the first round of the playoffs lost to Braga (1-2, 2-2). But in the season before last, Sion was only the penultimate one, and was saved in the play-offs with Thun. Against this background, it turned out to add, but not without luck: the “red-whites” took 7th place, but were ahead of Lucerne, which finished penultimate, by only 1 point. But this was also a good result of the work of Tramezzani, who became a coach only in the middle of autumn last year.
Last season, the teams showed equality in the results: they won once at home and away. In 5 of the last 6 matches, at least 1 side scored 3 times, and 1 more meeting ended 2-0. So it begs the offer with " more than 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
