There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Lugano players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of FC Zurich.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 30 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to FC Zurich, who had 10 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

Manager Mattia Croci-Torti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.  

They have had an excellent run of form at Stadio Di Cornaredo recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.

The Servette squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Young Boys Bern, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they recorded 46 % of the possession, with 5 attempts on goal, 0 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 14 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 16 of their 18 games played.  

Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.  

Takuma Nishimura has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Lugano.
