Luzern form and stats

Let's have a look at how Luzern performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 10 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 62 and conceded 59 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 10 with 26/36 goals scored/conceded.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Young Boys with 3-4 on the scoreboard. The attacker Pascal Schürpf got a match rating of 9.01 in that game. Schürpf scored two goals and hit two key passes. Leading 3-1 was not enough for Luzern in their fight with Young Boys last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-4 loss. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Luzern, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Luzern were so close to getting something from the game against Young Boys, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

Prior to that result Luzern won their away game at St. Gallen in the Swiss Cup. The scoreline was 3-1.

Head 2 Head
