Lugano – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Bianconeri" secured the runner-up spot last season by outperforming this very opponent, while the top spot once again went to Young Boys. However, due to that success, their schedule at the start of the new season has been incredibly tight. Mourinho debuted in his new role against the Swiss team, and his Fenerbahçe, despite conceding first in the fourth minute, won 4-3 away. In Istanbul mid-week, there was no miracle: they opened the scoring, held the lead for a long time, but eventually lost 1-2.
In the Super League, there was almost a slip-up as well. In the first round, the vice-champions were losing to the underdogs, Grasshoppers, until the 61st minute. But they ultimately won 2-1, with the same result against Basel.
Servette – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Grenats" slipped to third place in the Super League last season. However, they had their revenge in the spring: after winning a prolonged penalty shootout, they took the Swiss Cup from the "black and whites."
They started the new season with victories. A 2-1 win over Lucerne was followed by a triumph over Young Boys in a rescheduled fifth-round match. They also defeated Yverdon in a 3-2 shootout.
