FC Lausanne-Sport will take on Fiorentina on Thursday at the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise in matchday six of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Lausanne showed admirable resilience on Sunday, holding Basel to a goalless draw despite ending the match with just nine players. However, that result also marked their fifth failure to score in seven games across all competitions.
Two of those blanks have come in their last two Conference League outings, where a three-match winless run has stalled the momentum built from a strong two-win start to the league phase, leaving the Blue and White locked in a tight battle for a top-16 place.
While their recent home form over the last five matches offers little encouragement, Lausanne remain unbeaten at Stade de la Tuiliere in this season’s Conference League, keeping hopes of progression alive.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, suffered a damaging 2-1 home defeat to Hellas Verona on Sunday, a result that left them rooted to the bottom of Serie A after 15 matches. It was their fourth loss in five competitive games, with the only bright spot being a 2-1 Conference League victory over Dynamo Kyiv on matchday five.
Although La Viola still have a realistic chance of advancing directly to the last 16, easing pressure on head coach Paolo Vanoli, four defeats in their last five away matches underline ongoing struggles on the road.

Lausanne vs Fiorentina prediction: Expect a draw
Key statistics
- Lausanne have not lost at home in their last four games.
- Both teams have played a full-time draw in two of their last five games in all competitions.
- Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of their last five games.
Correct score prediction: Lausanne 1-1 Fiorentina
Fiorentina’s confidence is currently very low, and their poor away form continues to be a major concern. Lausanne, despite their own inconsistencies, have shown surprising resilience in Europe and possess enough attacking quality at home to trouble the visitors.
With Fiorentina under pressure to avoid another setback, a cautious approach is likely. Taking everything into account, we expect a tight game, with both sides capable of finding the net but neither doing enough to secure all three points. A 1-1 draw is our predicted outcome.

The bookmakers lean towards Fiorentina despite their poor domestic form, with the visitors' odds at 2.10, which implies a 47.6% chance of victory. Lausanne are rated the underdogs at 3.20 (31.3%), reflecting their recent struggles in front of goal, while the draw is available at 3.70 (27.0%). Although Fiorentina hold a clear edge on paper, their inconsistency away from home suggests this could still be a competitive and finely balanced contest.
