Luzern form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Luzern have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses from their games here at swissporarena.

It's back home for Luzern, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Lausanne Sport away with the result 2-1. Abubakar (2) found the net in that victory.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Servette that finished 1-1.

There will be little rest for Luzern after this match as they are travelling to Young Boys for a Super League game in only three days.

The Luzern fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Luzern defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
