We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Zürich form and stats
Three Super League home games done for Zürich, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
The Zürich crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-4 to Basel here at Stadion Letzigrund. A goal frenzy last time out for Zürich, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Basel. Fun stuff to watch! Kryeziu was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.15 out of 10. The defender Kryeziu scored one goal and won 7 of 10 duels.
Before that one, a nice away victory at Hearts. A Europa League match. This is expected to be a close game, with Zürich perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zürich as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Zürich has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Zürich have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Zürich are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
Lugano form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Super League away games so far for Lugano with six points collected from three matches. When Lugano is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 2 matches. Basel, Winterthur and Lugano is teams we like to compare Zürich with.
Lugano might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. St. Gallen proved too strong as Lugano slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Kybunpark. Celar, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.01. Celar scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Previously, the Swiss Cup victory away at Linth. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lugano playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 7 Lugano wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
