Lugano vs Thun Prediction & Tips
Ugano kicks off its championship between two crucial European fixtures. On Thursday, Mattia Croci-Torti’s men could only manage a goalless draw (0-0) against CFR Cluj. The return leg, next Thursday, could well haunt the minds of the Ticino side this weekend. However, their preparations have been fairly encouraging: just one defeat, against Thun (2-4), and two solid victories against Rapperswil-Jona (2-1) and Pro Vercelli (2-0).
Opposite them, Thun is back among the big boys with confidence to spare! Challenge League champions with 72 points, 11 ahead of Aarau, the club dominated the 2024-25 season (21 wins, 9 draws, 6 defeats). The attack was particularly prolific (70 goals), and the defence was solid overall (39 goals conceded). This summer, Mauro Lustrinelli’s team played four friendlies: one defeat against Kriens (3-4), one draw against Sion (1-1), then two wins against Aarau (4-1) and Lugano (2-4).
