Since the season 2015/16, the FC Lugano plays again first class. The best finish of the recent season reached the Ticino in the season 2016/17, when they finished under coach Paolo Tramezzani the Super League in third place. Also this season, the FCL could repeat this placement with coach Fabio Celestini. Under the coach, who had taken over the team in October 2018, it runs quite well for the FCL. By the weekend Lugano held the third place in the table, but slipped after a 0-1 defeat at FC Thun for the time being back to fifth place. The guests were struggling against the Bernese Oberlanders, who had not won in eleven games. In addition, the team came from Ticino by a controversial penalty kick in the 26th Minute in arrears.
In the second round, the FCT’s defense wobbled several times, but eventually it was 1-0 over time. Due to a lack of opportunity evaluation Lugano missed several times the compensation. For example, Mijat Maric only hit the crossbar shortly before the break. The gap to third place, with which one would come directly into the Europa League group stage in a Cup victory of Basel, is currently only two points. With 45 goals conceded the FC has the best defensive behind YB and Basel. In the last eleven games there was only one defeat, but also “only” four wins.

St. Gallen :
With only one win from eight league games, FC St. Gallen was, as so often in the second half of a small crisis. Coach Peter Zeidler felt headwind for the first time. Experts accused the coach that his system is not variable and the players have an extremely weak tackle ratio. With a high pressing the team of coach Zeidler often attacked their opponents deep into their half of the pitch and thus gained a lot of possession. Since the defensive lacked stability, the FC was also often outranked. From the last six games of the FCSG then drew at least ten points. A particularly important match was for St. Gallen on Sunday against Sion. After a very mixed first half, the hosts took the lead with their first shot on goal in injury time of the first round. But the guests were able to compensate shortly after the restart.
In the end, thanks to a goal from Tranquillo Barnetta in the 80th minute, the hosts from the east of Switzerland won 2-1. In the second round of the FC St. Gallen had three aluminum hits but also a lot of bad luck. The former Bundesliga professional Tranquillo Barnetta went through his horses a little at his winning goal, so that he tore the jersey euphorically after the goal and was then warned with yellow. The St. Gallen crowd favorite, who is already at eight goals this season and will end his career after the current season, thus missing his team yellow-blocked at FC Lugano. In addition, Itten, Wiss, Lüchinger and Stergiou fall out because of injuries. Kräuchi, Campos, Muheim and Ben Khalifa are currently not part of the squad.
