Lausanne vs FC Zurich: Under 2.5 goals
Lausanne enter this clash with a 62.1% model probability of victory, while the match is expected to produce fewer than 2.5 goals. Both sides’ recent scoring rates reinforce a low‑scoring outlook.
The Swiss Super League fixture pits Lausanne’s home‑ground edge against a Zurich side that has struggled to find the net away from Zurich. With Lausanne’s expected goals at 1.5 versus Zurich’s 0.5, the statistical gap hints at a clear advantage for the hosts.
Lars's Verdict
The model assigns a 67.7% probability to the total remaining under 2.5 goals, driven by Lausanne’s 1.5 xG and Zurich’s 0.5 xG.
Show the maths
With Lausanne averaging 1.5 expected goals and FC Zurich averaging 0.5, the model gives a 69.4% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 30.6% it gives to both teams scoring.

Combined expected goals of 2.0 (Lausanne 1.5 + FC Zurich 0.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 67.7% chance against 32.3% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lausanne at 62.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and FC Zurich at 12.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 20.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Lausanne
Lausanne’s recent form includes a 1‑1 draw against Grasshoppers at home and a 1‑0 win away at FC Basel 1893, evidencing their ability to secure points while limiting opponents to a single goal.

FC Zurich
Zurich’s away form features a 1‑2 loss at St. Gallen and a 0‑5 defeat at Lugano, both highlighting a severe scoring shortfall away from home. Even their 2‑1 home win over Servette did not translate into away firepower, reinforcing the expectation of few goals in this match.
