Lugano, Recent FormHaving secured a 3-2 away win against Sion in their latest league match, Lugano will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 16 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Mattia Croci-Torti will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 in the same period. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment. Few teams have managed to keep Lugano away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They have had a good run of form at Stadio Di Cornaredo recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Žan Celar will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Lugano.
Grasshoppers, Recent FormWith Young Boys Bern sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Grasshoppers won't feel totally dejected with their 2-1 home defeat by them last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Young Boys Bern had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Few teams have managed to keep GCZ away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 15 of their 17 league matches this season.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Grasshoppers camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
On an individual basis, Christián Herc will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Grasshoppers' last 6 league games.
Grasshoppers recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Lugano in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against GCZ in their last 12 meetings together.
Both teams will be looking for a breakthrough in this fixture, with the last 4 meetings at Stadio Di Cornaredo ending in a draw and a share of the spoils. However, Lugano will also want to maintain their unbeaten home record against Grasshoppers which now stands at 5 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Lugano manager Mattia Croci-Torti will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Grasshoppers manager Giorgio Contini has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
