Luzern, Recent FormAn important point secured against FC Zurich will have left Luzern quite happy with their 1-1 draw. During that encounter they had 42% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 24 shots on goal.
Manager Mario Frick will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
They have had an excellent run of form at Swissporarena recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Basel, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Grasshoppers will not have sat easily with the Basel squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 48% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Grasshoppers, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Fabio Celestini will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 16 of their 17 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 6 of their 8 away league games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
In each of their last 10 games away from home in the league to Luzern, Bebbi have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. It's been a long time since Luzern at home has managed to find the back of the Bebbi net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at Swissporarena. Basel have a good attacking record away to Die Leuchten in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Basel have dominated this away fixture in the past, winning the last 6 times in a row that they have played Luzern at Swissporarena in the league.
With 3 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Luzern at their home ground Swissporarena, Basel man Fabian Frei will be looking for more of the same in this one.
There is only really one injury concern for the Luzern manager Mario Frick ahead of this clash, with Kemal Ademi (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Frick a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Basel manager Fabio Celestini ahead of this clash, with Yusuf Demir (Stomach trouble) missing out, which gives Celestini a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
