Lausanne Sport form and stats

Lausanne Sport have played 6 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).

It's back home for Lausanne, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Vaduz away with the result 2-0. Cameron Puertas Castro and Aldin Turkeš found the net in that victory. Preceding that match was the home game against St. Gallen that was lost 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lausanne Sport perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lausanne Sport as a small favourite), we find five games. Lausanne has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.

Lausanne are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Lugano awaits in three days.

Lausanne have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Centre de Football de la Tuilière 1 with 9 goals in 6 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.

Luzern form and stats

There's been little loot from Luzern's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the Super League. Luzern only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 0 draws. Luzern love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Luzern's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Zürich that finished 0-0. Preceding that game was the away victory against Sion with the score of 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Luzern playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Luzern win, one draw and five defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Luzern are hosting Basel in the Super League only three days away.

The travelling fans enjoy Luzern's attacking play in away games, having scored 9 goals in 6 league matches away. Luzern's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Luzern - Lausanne 2-2. Lausanne-Luzern H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Lausanne Sport five wins, Luzern three wins, two draws. nine of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
