Luzern will play host to Zürich at Swissporarena in the Swiss Super League on Saturday.
Luzern vs Zürich Preview
The hosts and three other teams have an equal number of wins – five – and they are level on 20 points with two sides, Grasshoppers and Sion. Luzern are eying the second or third spot, which is within their reach, but the summit has become elusive after Young Boys established a 10-point lead.
Die Leuchten have won the top flight once in 1988-89. They finished ninth last season and will hope to do better this term. However, they have been disappointing at home, winning only once in their last five matches at Swissporarena. Their last clash with Zurich ended in a goalless draw.
