Lugano host Luzern at the Cornaredo Stadium on Sunday in the 2022-23 Swiss Super League season, looking to build on their latest win.
Mattia Croci-Torti's side beat Winterther 4-1 in their last game, picking up their first points of the season at the third time of asking.
Before that, Lugano were beaten 3-2 by Sion on the opening day followed by a 2-1 loss to Grasshoppers.
However, in their midweek Europa Conference League clash with Hapoel Beer Sheva, they once again went down 2-0.
Luzern started their season with a 0-0 draw against FC Zurich which also saw them reduced to 10 men in stoppage time as Ardon Jashari was sent off in the 91st minute.

Lugano vs Luzern Prediction
Lugano have played more games so far this season than Luzern, and following a rocky start which saw them lose their opening two games, gained some momentum with a 4-1 thumping of Winterthur.
Luzern were undone by a lack of finishing despite their best efforts and must find their shooting boots here to return to winning ways.
Yet, we feel the sides could play out a draw.
Prediction: Lugano 1-1 Luzern
