After spending ten consecutive seasons in the fourth tier of Swiss football, Luzern II achieved promotion in the 2021/22 season. In their first season in the third tier (Promotion League), Luzern II had a dominant season, finishing first and winning 74 points, eight more than the 2nd-placed Stade Nyonnains. Still, since they are a B team of Luzern, they weren't promoted and stayed in the same tier. In the current season, they are 6th with eight points in five matches.

Breitenrain are playing its 15th consecutive season in the Promotion League. Last season, they finished 8th with 51 points. Still, they had a terrible season finish, with three losses in the last three games. They could even be in the promotion battle with better results in those games. This season, they are in 9th place with seven points after five rounds. 

Luzern II vs Breitenrain pick: Over 3.5 goals

Luzern II last season had the most games with four or more goals in the Promotion League - 24 out of 32 (75%). This season, they also mainly played high-scoring games, especially in the last matches. Over the previous two matches, they were over 3.5 goals, with six scored and five conceded goals. 

Breitenrain were over 3.5 goals in two of the previous four games. This season, with zero clean sheets, they showed just how bad they are defensively. Additionally, they haven't had a clean sheet in the last 23 games in all competitions, which says a lot about their defensive capabilities.

These teams played two h2h games last season and were over 3.5 goals in both matches. Both teams won their home games - Luzern II won 5:2 and Breitenrain 4:1. This time, we expect a win for the home again, but more importantly, at least four goals.
