Luzern form and stats

A Super League draw at home so far for Luzern. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from 18 matches.

Luzern are returning here after visiting Schotz in a Swiss Cup match and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated through three league fixtures.

Prior to that, an away loss at St. Gallen in the Super League.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Luzern have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

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

6 goals so far away for Sion, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
