Does FC Luzern have a chance against FC Zurich?
If you look at the past direct encounters and the results of the league games of both teams, it seems likely that Lucerne against Zurich will have a hard time. Neocoach Thomas Häberli, who has been in office since 21 February, will not help either. He, too, could not provide any real change in the team. 6 wins, 6 defeats and 3 draws were possible under his leadership.

At home, the Lucerne were able to win only 6 of 17 games, draw 1 draw and suffered 10 defeats. In these 17 games they scored 26 goals and scored 32 goals. No good forecasts for a win, this balance is very similar to the outlook of Zurich. In the last 3 league games, they could only win against the safe relegated, Grasshoppers, a 4-0 win. They lost 1-0 to Lugano and 3-2 to Basel. In addition, they have to complete the final league game this season against the dominant and current champions, BSC Young Boys Bern.

Accordingly, it should be even harder to get a Europa League place. To what extent this fact affects the mind of the players remains questionable. FC Luzern will miss Stefan Knezevic, Tomi Juric, Lazar Cirkovic and Christian Schwegler in the upcoming match. Presumably, these losses will not have much influence on the upcoming gameplay, as Blessing Eleke, 13 goals and 3 assists, as well as Pascal Schürpf, 9 goals and 9 assists, can be set against Zurich.

These two named players are the strongest scorer of the Lucerne. They have only been able to win once against the Zurich team since 2018 and ensure two draws. They were subject to them twice. They scored 5 times in these 5 games and scored 10 in return. For the possible bet tip, it might be interesting that in just one game both teams did not finish and in 2 games, 5, more than 2.5 goals were scored.

Can Zurich win the fourth meeting with Lucerne?
This season, the Zurich decided two duels against Lucerne for themselves and were good for a draw. Away, they were good for a 2-5 victory and at home in Zurich they were able to win 1-0 and ensure a draw. In the Swiss Super League itself, the away balance looks not so great. They won 4 of 17 away games and made 4 draws. Accordingly, they suffered nine defeats.
Free soccer picks
In these 17 games they scored 22 goals and allowed 34 goals. Looking at the overall balance, it is noticeable that they generally have a weakness in the defense to complain. After all, they were able to win two of the last three league games. First they defeated Basel 3-0. After that they celebrated against Xamax a 1: 2 and against Thun a 3: 0 victory. Coach Lodovic Magnin will be without injury to Izer Aliu, Adrian Winter, Lavdim Zumberi, Hekuran Kryeziu, Pa Modou and Joel Untersee in the upcoming match.

Even with the people of Zurich, these losses are unlikely to have much influence on the outcome of the match, as the two strongest goalscorers in the Zurich squad can play against Lucerne. This refers to Benjamin Kololli and Stephen Odey. They were good for every 10 goals in 28 or 30 games and Kololli also shared 6 assists. Odey was good for 2 assits after all.

Bet Tip and Forecast
Because of the results of the direct duels, we assume that the Zurich will win this game. Therefore, we can pronounce Tip 2 as a recommendation to this duel. Likewise, a tip on more than 2.5 goals and on a yes, both teams meet. Of course, in only 2 of the last 4 games have more than 2.5 goals been scored, but in 3 of these games both teams have been able to score. For that reason, we recommend these two betting options. If these betting variants are associated with too much risk, we recommend a double chance or Draw no bet Tip 2 bet. After all, a draw can not be completely ruled out. Finally, we would like to recommend our betting news and bonus news to you. In these you will find information on special promotions of the sports betting providers, betting and matchday previews.

Against Zurich at home and away at YB it just means: full throttle forward. These are two games against good, big teams, but we'll try our best to finish third. We spent the whole year around the Barrage Square. Now that's gone. And I think it's really better to look for your luck on the offensive. Therefore: full throttle forward - there is nothing else. "

The future of coach Thomas Häberli, who had taken over the post of René Weiler in February, is still unclear. His contract only runs until the end of the season.
