Lugano form and stats

Lugano, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Super League, have collected 8 points from their Super League home games so far after 2-2-1.

Stress levels are on the rise for Lugano's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Amoura was their last goal scorer.

Lugano's last game was hosting Young Boys (placed 2nd) and winning 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Croci-Torti when M. Amoura scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.

Heartbreak before that as Lugano lost 0-2 at Basel's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lugano have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won six, drawn two and lost six.

Lugano are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Lugano have conceded 5 goals.

Servette form and stats

1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Servette playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Recent form does not give Servette much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Lugano will be a tough nut to crack.

Two away games in a row for Servette, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-4 versus Thun in the Swiss Cup.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Sion.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Servette playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were three Servette wins, four draws and seven defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Servette have scored 7 goals in 5 league games away. Servette have conceded 11 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two teams in this fixture also played each other before this season: Servette - Lugano 0-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - five - one (Lugano wins - draws - Servette wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), eight had two or less.
