⚫ Last season was a series of resilience tests for Lugano, both in domestic competitions and on the European stage. The team finished the 24/25 campaign in 4th place in the Super League, securing crucial points in the final stretch to retain their spot in European competitions. It was an inconsistent season: moments of brilliance in attack were offset by persistent defensive issues. Away games proved particularly challenging, with points dropped even against lower-ranked teams. Nevertheless, Lugano managed to secure a place in the Europa League qualifiers.
🔗 The preparation for the new season followed a familiar rhythm, without major transfers or strategic shifts. The management focused on retaining the core squad and emphasizing physical readiness. Over the summer, the club played three friendlies (winning two and losing one), concentrating on organizing their defense-a key issue from the previous season.
🏆 On July 24, Lugano played their first official match of the new season against Romanian side CFR Cluj in the Europa League qualifying round. The match ended goalless (0-0). Despite dominating possession and creating several dangerous chances, the Swiss side couldn't break through. The first weeks of the new season will reveal whether the team has learned from past mistakes. However, it's already clear: there's no room for complacency-European competition demands a higher standard than last year.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Lugano have already kicked off their season through the Europa League, entering the championship with match fitness, albeit without standout results. The team maintains its core, plays pragmatically, and feels comfortable at home. Thun are making their return to the Super League after dominating the Challenge League. They had a lively pre-season, even defeating Lugano in a friendly, but the level of competition in the top tier is a whole different ball game. Considering their debut at this new level, mistakes, especially in defense, are possible. Head-to-head matches between these teams often feature open play: in 4 of the last 5 games, the total exceeded 2.5 goals. However, Lugano will be cautious this time-they need to secure three points without unnecessary risks. Conclusion: Lugano are better prepared physically and tactically, playing at home with more established experience in official matches. Thun will have time to find their footing, but perhaps not in the first round. Our prediction: Lugano win.
