On the 13th of February, in this week 21 match, Zürich hosts Lugano at Stadion Letzigrund in a clash of these two closely matched Super League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 2 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Zürich sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Grasshopper. Schmid struck first for Grasshopper in the 43rd minute, then Assan Ceesay tied it up for Zürich in the 47th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 67th minute on a goal by Tosin Aiyegun. Zürich is on a hot streak lately, having won 8 of their last 10 matches, while lugano is fresh off their 2-1 win against Luzern. Lavanchy struck first for Lugano in the 20th minute, then Mohamed Dräger got the equalizer for Luzern in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Filip Ugrinic. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Lugano should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match on the 16th of October, Zürich was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Assan Ceesay scored the first goal for Zürich in the 77th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Lugano couldn’t manage to score, and Zürich took the shutout win.
Lugano is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Mickael Facchinetti and Mattia Bottani each only have 1 goal in their last five. Both Degnand Wilfried Gnonto and Tosin Aiyegun have been the hottest scorers for Zürich in the last 5 each having scored 3 goals.
