Lugano form and stats

Lugano have played three Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Lugano manager F. Celestini and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Servette (placed 5th) in the Super League. In the match before that, Lugano hosted Luzern and drew the game 1-1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lugano, as the Europa League home game vs Dynamo Kyiv is only four days away.

Lugano has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Lugano are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio di Cornaredo in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

Neuchâtel Xamax form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Neuchâtel Xamax playing as the away team in the Super League this season.

Neuchâtel Xamax play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Luzern (placed 6th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Sion.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
