Lugano and Young Boys battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 11 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 win at Mlada Boleslav in the UEFA Conference League. Lugano went ahead through Renato Steffen's 38th-minute strike, and his goal proved to be the winner after Patrik Vydra had missed an 81st-minute penalty for the Czech outfit.
The Bianconeri now turn their focus back to the domestic scene, where their last game saw them fall to a 2-0 defeat at Yverdon. Young Boys, meanwhile, suffered a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League. Marcu Thuram scored a last-gasp winner in the third minute of injury time after Marko Arnautovic had missed a 48th-minute penalty.

Lugano vs Young Boys Prediction
Lugano claimed a hard-fought win in the Czech Republic to climb to fourth in the Conference League. Mattia Croci-Torti's side are winless in two league games but are unbeaten in three head-to-head games.
Young Boys, meanwhile, were bottom of the table last weekend, but their win saw them climb off the foot of the standings. That win against Luzern is their only one in their last five outings, with the Bern outfit losing the other four.
Caretaker manager Joel Magnin hasn't had the desired effect since his appointment. Hence, expect the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Lugano 1-2 Young Boys
