Grasshopper form and stats

Grasshopper have played 8 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Grasshopper are returning here after visiting St. Gallen in a Super League game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Mamadou Kaly Sene (3) and Hayao Kawabe scored the goal(s). As indicated by the result mentioned above, Grasshopper played a great game against St. Gallen and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. Mamadou Kaly Sene was absolutely essential when Grasshopper beat St. Gallen 4-0, scoring three goals. The attacker Mamadou Kaly Sene won the honour of being "man of the match" for Grasshopper with a rating of 9.64/10. Sene scored three goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Luzern form and stats

There's been little loot from Luzern's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Super League. Luzern only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 5 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Luzern who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Lausanne Sport was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Luzern lost away at Zurich (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Zurich was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Simon Grether, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.02. Grether won 5 of 6 duels.

A loss against Basel was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Luzern have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were one victory, two draws and four defeats.

The visiting Luzern have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 8 goals from 8 games. Luzern have conceded 17 goals in these games.
