Luzern form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Luzern's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at swissporarena.

Luzern's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Sion (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Luzern goalkeeper Müller did an outstanding job against Sion with eight saves, so vital to securing the victory. The goalie Müller was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.85 out of ten. Müller topped it up with a clean sheet.

In the game before, a fine away win at Schotz. A Swiss Cup match. 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 Luzern have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 7 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 1 and lost 2.

At swissporarena, Luzern has the goal stats of 3-1 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
