Football Bet of the Day: Defenders are Luzern the plot

Lugano v Luzern
Saturday, 16:45

The result from yesterday's recommendation is still to come in. At the time of writing, the big game in Japan is 10 minutes old and, we'll level with you, not a lot has happened.

While you're on tenterhooks, have a look at what's about to go down in Switzerland this afternoon.

An old friend of the column, Zdenek Zeman took charge of Lugano over the summer.

So far the goal-crazed Czech-Italian has helped newly promoted Lugano's six Super League games produce 20 goals this season. At Cornaredo Stadium, three matches have brought 10 goals.

More surprisingly, Markus Babbel's Luzern also seem to prioritise attack over defence. The Shiners have scored at least twice in 8/15 road games since the German took over. They won their last away game 5-2 and can give Zeman a leg up to a similar scoreline this afternoon.
