This could be an interesting match as Luzern have their presumed home advantage while Basel are ahead 6 points in the Super League table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Luzern and Basel.
Luzern form and stats
The story so far in the Super League for Luzern at their home stadium (swissporarena) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. After failing to beat St. Gallen here at swissporarena, Luzern has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
The Luzern supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Basel in Super League and win 2-1. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Thun the opponent.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of F. Celestini when Blessing Eleke scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute.
