Luzern form and stats

Luzern have played 15 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-7-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Nothing to worry about in defence for Luzern, as their goalkeeper Marius Muller has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Super League.

A nice win for Luzern last time playing, versus Lausanne Sport. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Varol Tasar scoring for the victors. 0-0 away at St. Gallen before that.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of F. Celestini when Varol Tasar scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Luzern have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.

Luzern have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at swissporarena with 29 goals in 15 league matches. 20 goals have been conceded.
