Neuchatel Xamax vs Lausanne Sport Betting Tips & Predictions

Neuchatel Xamax have won very well in their first season back in the Swiss Challenge League after serious financial issues left them in a Rangers-esque situation. They have secured three consecutive promotions to reach this stage, but they won’t be making it four in a row this year. They come into this game in a still impressive 4th position, but they are 14 points adrift of the leaders with just 12 points left to play for.

Lausanne Sport are those leaders that everybody is struggling to catch. Only one team is mathematically able to do so, but Lausanne can reduce that to zero teams and mathematically secure the title with a win on Tuesday. They are ten points in front of Wil, so it’s unlikely in any situation that they will be caught in the remaining four matches.

Neuchatel Xamax come into this match looking to make it five matches unbeaten, although three of their four unbeaten games have been draws. They have only won three of their last nine outings, but to be fair to them they’ve only lost twice as well.

Lausanne Sport lost last time out to end their own impressive unbeaten record. This was their first defeat since November, a run stretching back 15 matches and including ten victories. There’s no wonder they’re at the top of the table.

Neuchatel Xamax are unbeaten on home turf since September though and have won eight of their 12 games since then. Lausanne Sport aren’t exactly bad on the road though: They have won 12 of the 15 matches away from home since their last defeat in July.

The visitors haven’t failed to score in any of these 15 matches, but they have conceded themselves on eight occasions. Neuchatel Xamax have only failed to score in two of their last 12 home games as well, so both teams to score is looking good at 8/13. I’m backing Lausanne Sport to break their winless streak against Neuchatel and get the win with a 2-1 correct score prediction as well at 8/1.
