Zürich have already won the Super League. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.

Lugano have less rest than Zürich in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Swiss Cup game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus St. Gallen, was also a home game here at Stadio di Cornaredo. The away team is better rested.

Lugano form and stats

Lugano have played 17 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Lugano's previous fixture was a Swiss Cup game also played at their home, finishing 4-1 versus St. Gallen. The home team are looking to repeat that performance.

2-2 away at Servette before that.

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 18 matches with the results: Won 8, drawn 3 and lost 7.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lugano as they are travelling to their away game against Basel in the Super League. That match is three 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 25 in 17 matches. Lugano's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 23 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
