Struggling Lugano will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Basel in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Lugano nor Basel as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lugano form and stats
With 0 Super League wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Lugano, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Lugano fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Thun game long ago, can be stopped today.
The Lugano crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Basel here at Cornaredo in a Super League match. In the match before that, Lugano hosted Malmö FF and drew the Europa League game 0-0.
Lugano have scored 2 goals here in 7 league matches, a depressing statistic. Lugano's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Basel form and stats
Basel, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Super League, have an excellent away record in the Super League so far with 4-2-1 from 7 games.
It's the second away game in a row for Basel, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Lugano (placed 8th) in the Super League last time out. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Getafe in the Europa League.
The Basel manager M. Koller has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 7 league matches. Basel have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
