Grasshopper form and stats

Grasshopper's struggle is real here at Stadion Letzigrund with only 14 points collected from 14 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-6. When Grasshopper hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Grasshopper, Lausanne Sport and Sion), they have won 2 of 2 matches! With nine home Super League games in a row without a win, the Grasshopper fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St. Gallen game long ago, can be stopped today.

Grasshopper travelled for their previous game, a trip to Zurich that ended 1-1.

Heartbreak before that as Grasshopper lost 0-1 at Luzern's place.

A decent goal production from Grasshopper in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 14 league matches.

Luzern form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Luzern so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 1-8-5 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Luzern's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Lugano (placed 4th). Midfield player Ugrinic was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.11/10. Ugrinic scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 44 successful passes (of 51 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Grasshopper.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Luzern have scored 17 goals in 14 league games away. In the opposite end, Luzern have conceded 27 goals in their away games.
