Lugano form and stats
Lugano have collected seven points from their first three Super League games here at Stadio di Cornaredo, a promising start.
Lugano drew their last game, 1-1 away at Servette (placed 8th). In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Lausanne Sport.
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 seven games. Lugano has won four of these, drawn zero and lost three.
A decent goal production from Lugano in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
Basel form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Basel playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Basel has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Impressive finishing from Pajtim Kasami and Valentin Stocker secured the home win 2-1 against Lausanne Sport in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Young Boys's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Basel playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Basel wins, one draw and one defeat.
Basel find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. Basel have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Lugano, four draws and four wins for Basel. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
