Boasting a 19 point dominance in the league table, Lugano regulars wish to see their beloved team earn full points from this fixture hosting Luzern.

Insights:
  • Lugano have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Luzern is in the worst form (0-1-5)

This should be an absorbing game with lots of fun and bustle as both sides are well refreshed since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!

Lugano form and stats

Lugano have played 9 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 225 minutes without scoring a league goal. Lovric was the last player to find the net.

Lugano faced defeat in their previous match, away at Young Boys (0-1). Defender Ziegler got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.15/10. Ziegler hit one key pass and won 3 of 6 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Young Boys with the scoreline 0-5.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lugano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost zero.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lugano as they are travelling to their away game against Thun in the Swiss Cup. That match is four days after this one.

The Lugano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Lugano have conceded 12 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Luzern form and stats

There's been little loot from Luzern's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Luzern only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 6 draws.

Cumic was the last player to score for the away team. Luzern haven't scored a league goal in the last 191 minutes.

Luzern failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Basel (placed 2nd) that ended with defeat 0-3. Midfield player Gentner was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.33/10. Gentner dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 28 successful passes (of 34 total).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Servette.

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.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Luzern manager Frick as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Biel-Bienne.

Luzern have the goal stats of 9-18 (for/against) from 9 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
