Luzern form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Luzern playing as the away team in the Super League this season.

The manager Frick was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium swissporarena. Luzern suffered a 1-2 loss to Young Boys (placed 1st). It's possibly a bad omen for Luzern that their goalie Müller made six saves in the Young Boys game, but still couldn't hinder a beating. Frýdek was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.83. The defender Frýdek served one assist, hit three key passes and won 8 of 12 duels.

Previously, the Swiss Cup victory away at Bellinzona (after extra-time). We have checked recent matches where Luzern have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 0 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

Luzern have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 9 goals from 4 away matches. 5 goals have been conceded by Luzern in these games.
