Lugano form and stats

Lugano have played 4 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-0 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Lugano bring valid hopes of a third.

Lugano's previous game was a Super League match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Basel (placed 3rd). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Servette that finished 1-1.

Manager M. Jacobacci felt very clever after Mattia Bottani scored the winning goal against Basel, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 65th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Mattia Bottani scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lugano as they are travelling to their away game against St. Gallen in the Super League. That match is three days after this one.

The Lugano fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. From these home matches, Lugano have conceded only 3 goals.
