Lugano take on the visitors Young Boys in the round 35 match of Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Thursday, May 24th at Stadio di Cornaredo (Lugano).
Lugano extended their unbeaten streak to 9 consecutive matches by equalizing late in the game against Basel at St. Jakob Park, thanks to an experienced Renato Steffen goal (1-1). Currently, Lugano is in third place in the championship and has reached the final of the Swiss Cup. Under the guidance of Ciriaco Sforza, they are heading towards a tense and exciting end to the season. With only 2 rounds left in the Super League, they haven't bid farewell to their chances of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, as they are only 3 points behind Servette. On the other hand, Young Boys are in excellent form, and I wouldn't consider them such strong underdogs in the match against the Swiss champions.

After a season, the "Yellow and Blacks" managed to quickly reclaim the championship title, securing it well before the end of the season. Currently, Raphaël Wicky's team is playing with mixed lineups, giving playing time to those who have spent more time on the bench throughout the season. This hasn't hindered them from defeating teams like Sion away (2-0) in the last round, but they had a 1-4 loss against Grasshoppers and a 1-1 draw with Zurich in their recent matches. Therefore, a motivated Lugano away from home will not be an easy opponent for Young Boys.
I believe that at the very least, Lugano will not lose this match. We should consider Lugano's excellent form towards the end of the season, their tournament motivation, which allows them to compete for the Europa League and Champions League spots in different competitions at the moment. On the other hand, Young Boys may have relaxed a bit after securing the championship early, and their heavily rotated squad might not perform at their best. In their last head-to-head match in Bern in February, when both teams had higher motivation, they ended in a draw (1-1). Considering all the tournament dynamics, a draw looks very promising for Lugano in this knockout phase.
Prediction for the match: Lugano not to lose (1X).
