Hamrun
In their last outing, Hamrun secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Sliema Wanderers. The team has been performing well at home, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions (3 wins, 1 draw). Hamrun has shown defensive solidity, conceding only two goals during this period. They will look to extend this form in their upcoming match against Lausanne.
- Hamrun has not lost in regular time in their last 5 home matches in European competitions (4 wins, 1 draw).
- The team has kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 home games in European tournaments.
- In 4 of Hamrun's last 6 home matches in European competitions, the scoreline has included the number "1" at the end of regular time.
Lausanne
Lausanne comes into this match following a 2-2 draw against Young Boys in the Swiss Super League. The team has struggled on the road recently, failing to win any of their last four away matches (2 draws, 2 losses). Lausanne's defense has been a concern, conceding at least two goals in each of these games. They will aim to tighten up at the back as they face Hamrun.
- Lausanne has not won in regular time in their last 4 away matches in European competitions (2 draws, 2 losses).
- In 5 of Lausanne's last 7 away games in European tournaments, no more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 4 of Lausanne's last 6 away matches in European competitions.
Hamrun vs. Lausanne: Match Prediction
Hamrun has been strong at home, demonstrating a solid defensive setup. They have managed to grind out results even against challenging opponents. Lausanne, on the other hand, has struggled on the road, particularly in defense. Considering the current form of both teams, I expect a tight contest with limited scoring opportunities. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
