Luzern will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Grasshoppers.  During that encounter they had 51% possession and had 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 22 shots on goal.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 5 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they've conceded a goal in each of their the last 9 games at Swissporarena.  

Luzern will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.

The last league instalment for Lugano produced a stunning 6-1 home win over Yverdon-Sport.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 62%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 9 of which were on target. Yverdon-Sport had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Manager Mattia Croci-Torti will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 15 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They have certainly enjoyed a good run of late, having won 5 of their past 6 matches.  

On an individual basis, Renato Steffen will be looking to cause Luzern some problems having scored 4 goals in Lugano's last 6 away games in the league.
