The visiting Basel side should be favourites in this visit to Luzern, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League.
Luzern form and stats
Luzern's struggle is real here at Swissporarena with only 8 points collected from 8 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-4. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Luzern with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Sion game, 56 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Swissporarena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Luzern as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
In their previous game, the manager T. Häberli led his Luzern to a defeat in the Super League match away at Young Boys. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Swissporarena. Ahead of that match, Luzern lost 1-4 at home to St. Gallen.
The Luzern fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
Basel form and stats
Playing away, Basel, who have the the best goal difference (+25) in Super League, have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Super League this season.
The Basel goalkeeper Jonas Omlin is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Basel won their last game, 2-0 versus Trabzonspor played at home. A home win before that, celebrating 4-0 vs Sion.
The Basel manager M. Koller has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 8 league matches. Basel have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Basel - Luzern 3-0 earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 1 Luzern victory, 2 draws and 7 Basel wins. 6 of these games ended with three goals or more, 4 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
