Luzern vs Yverdon: Goals Expected as Duan Backed for the Over
Luzern may have lost some firepower, but they have still looked capable going forward in pre-season. With Yverdon also showing a score-and-concede pattern, the pick is over on total goals.
By 7MTHScore StaffTeam news: Luzern have yet to make any major signings this summer, and they have sold leading forward Viskovic for a high fee, which could weaken their attacking threat this season. In recent friendlies, the team has used Veriga as the focal point in attack, and he has also found the net, producing a solid display.
Yverdon have not made any significant additions for the new season either, while key midfielder Michaili has left the club. Young midfielder Adam Is is expected to see more playing time, and he has also scored in recent friendlies, leaving a positive impression.
Luzern injuries: Jesper Lofgren (defender). Suspensions: none.
Yverdon injuries: none. Suspensions: none.
Recent form: Luzern finished in mid-table in the Swiss top flight last season, and their performances in pre-season friendlies have also been decent, with their attack showing steady output. They should not be overawed by strong opposition here. Yverdon won the Swiss league title last season, but their recent friendly form has been inconsistent, scoring goals but also conceding plenty. Meetings between these two sides often produce goals at both ends, so backing over on total goals looks the better value in this match.
Head-to-head: Yverdon have won all of the last three league meetings between the sides. Their most recent win was 2-1, and the last meeting produced 14 corners.
