Lugano form and stats

1-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Super League numbers at home for Lugano so far this season.

Lugano's previous game was also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Servette (placed 2nd). The home side are looking to build on that result. Defender Valenzuela got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.84/10. Valenzuela won 6 of 10 duels.

In the game before, a strong away victory at Breitenrain. 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 21 games. Lugano has won 9 of these, drawn 3 and lost 9.

A decent goal production from Lugano in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches.

Basel form and stats

Basel are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, a Europa Conference League home loss versus Slovan Bratislava with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Adams was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.8. The defender Adams hit one key pass and won 4 of 6 duels.

That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus St. Gallen in the Super League.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Basel in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Basel, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Basel manager Frei as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Slovan Bratislava.

Basel's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Believe it or not, Basel have scored at least one goal in every league fixture they've featured in since failing to score against today's home team; the Basel - Lugano 0-2 game five game weeks ago. Previous ten meetings featuring these participants: Lugano won three, Basel triumphed in four and we saw three draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, six matches with under 2,5 goals.
