Team Analysis
Lugano: The "Bianconeri" secured the runner-up spot last season by outperforming Servette, with Young Boys clinching the top position. This success has resulted in a congested schedule at the start of the new season. Under Mourinho’s guidance, Fenerbahçe defeated them 4-3 away despite Lugano opening the scoring in the fourth minute. In Istanbul mid-week, Lugano took an early lead but eventually lost 1-2. In the Super League, Lugano had a close shave in their first round, coming from behind to beat Grasshoppers 2-1, and then defeating Basel with the same scoreline.
Servette: The "Grenats" finished third in the Super League last season but exacted revenge by winning the Swiss Cup in a dramatic penalty shootout against Lugano. They started the new season strongly with a 2-1 win over Lucerne, followed by a victory over Young Boys in a rescheduled fifth-round match, and a 3-2 shootout win over Yverdon.
