FC Copenhagen vs Lugano Predictions

Copenhagen went down 2-1 away at Hobro at the weekend and will be looking forward to returning to familiar surroundings after being on the road for their last three matches. Lugano were thrashed 3-0 away at Lausanne Sport in the Swiss Cup last time out and have looked poor away from home this last month.

All of the stats point towards Copenhagen winning and over 2.5 goals being scored on Thursday night, and we’ve backed the hosts to claim a 3-1 victory.

The form and performances of both teams over the last six weeks provide the basis behind our prediction for this game, as the pair have never met either competitively or non-competitively before. Copenhagen have won three of their last six matches while Lugano have lost five of their last six, so the hosts head into the game as the clear form favourites.

Over 2.5 goals have been produced in three of Copenhagen’s last five matches and in each of Lugano’s last four games, which is why we’re expecting at least three goals from Thursday’s clash. Copenhagen have only failed to score in two of their last six matches, while Lugano have scored in three of their last four away games, so we can expect to see both goalkeepers beaten on Thursday night.

Copenhagen have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts but have won their last two home games via the same 3-1 scoreline, while Lugano have conceded twice and conceded three goals in two of their last three away games, which is why we feel the best bet on a final scoreline is 3-1 to Copenhagen.

We’re confident that Copenhagen will win and that over 2.5 goals will be scored in the process and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. The hosts are the form favourites and have won their last two home games 3-1, while Lugano have been poor on the road but have scored eight goals in their last four away games, which is why we expect them to find the back of the net on Thursday.
