Form Guide — Last 5
FC Lugano
Lugano’s recent league run includes a 1‑0 win at home against Dukagjini and a 5‑1 away victory over the same side, showing they can find the net but have limited exposure to high‑scoring games. Those two wins suggest they are capable of scoring, yet their home defensive record remains perfect, implying the away side’s firepower will be decisive for the total goals.
NSI Runavik
Runavik’s last four league results feature a 1‑1 draw at home with Hamrun Spartans, a 2‑1 away win over the same opponents, a 0‑2 home loss to Koper and a 2‑0 away win against Koper. Scoring five goals while conceding four across those games highlights their ability to produce goals on the road, supporting an over‑2.5 goal outcome.
