Lausanne vs Breidablik prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-01 16:45.
[p]The 2025/26 UEFA Conference League begins with an intriguing clash between out-of-sorts Lausanne and reigning Icelandic champions BreiĆ°ablik.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]With just one win across their last five matches across all competitions (D2, L2), and with that sole victory coming against lower league opposition in the Swiss Cup, preparations for Lausanneās Conference League opener couldnāt have gone much worse. Given that the hosts have also lost each of their last four home matches in major European competition, a far better performance will be needed here, as they look to end that streak on their return to major European competition for the first time since 2010/11.[/p]
[p]Visiting BreiĆ°ablik have their own unwanted record to break here too, as the Icelandic side have lost all six of their prior major European matches, each of which came in this competition during the 2023/24 campaign. A glance at their recent form paints a stark picture ahead of this outing however, as the away side have won just two of their last 15 matches across all competitions (D7, L6) and none of their last five on the trot (D4, L1). Much of that form has been anchored by the visitorsā terrible defensive record of late, now failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 12 outings after playing their part in another goalscoring draw at the weekend.[/p]
