Lugano form and stats
4 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Lugano have to build on here at Stadio di Cornaredo in the Super League. The trend of drawing games is also valid regardless of arena as Lugano has four draws from their last four matches.
Lugano shared the glory with Sion in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Midfielder Doumbia was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.04 (out of ten) in that game. Doumbia scored one goal, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 53 successful passes (of 60 total).
In the game before, a strong away win at Sion. A Swiss Cup game. This is expected to be a close game, with Lugano perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lugano as a small favourite), we find 20 games. Lugano has won 9 of these, drawn 2 and lost 9.
Take note: 11 of the most recent 13 league matches from this football club have had goals from both teams.
The Lugano fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 11 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Lugano defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Zürich form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super League travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Zürich has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Zürich's last game was the home draw against Servette (1-1). The draw against Servette came from a losing position. The Zürich manager Henriksen brought on Ligue as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. Conde got a match rating of 8.32 in that game, top player of the team. Conde served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Young Boys.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Zürich in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Zürich, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Head 2 Head
Funnily enough, the last time the home team kept a "clean sheet" was also facing this opposition, nine games ago (Lugano - Zürich 2-0). Mahou (Lugano) was sent off when these teams last played each other. Previous ten meetings featuring these sides: Lugano won three, Zürich were winners in six and we saw one draw. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with less than 2,5 goals.
