Week 16 brings us a match on Dec 4th where Zürich will host Luzern at Stadion Letzigrund in a Super League match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, Zürich recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Young Boys. Degnand Wilfried Gnonto struck first for Zürich in the 83rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Young Boys couldn’t muster any offence and Zürich ran away with the shutout win. Zürich should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Luzern is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Basel. Arthur struck first for Basel in the 3rd minute on a feed from Edon Zhegrova, then Raoul Petretta added another in the 49th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
On Sunday Aug 8th, Luzern hosted Zürich at the Swissporarena in their last match together. Zürich was victorious by a score of 3 to 1 in front of almost nine thousand spectators. Filip Ugrinic scored the first goal for Luzern in the 5th minute, but Mirlind Kryeziu got the equalizer for Zürich in the 35th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 44th minute on a goal by Blaz Kramer.
Dejan Sorgic has been the most prolific scorer on Luzern in his last 5 matches with two goals. Zürich is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Rodrigo Pollero López and Assan Ceesay each having 2 goals in their last five.
