Zurich vs Luzern Prediction
Zurich were in danger of being relegated just a season after winning the league. However, a positive run of results post the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has seen them climb off the foot of the table.
Nevertheless, the defending champions still face relegation fears, with just two points separating them from bottom-placed Winterthur. Luzern, by contrast, are within touching distance of European qualification, and a win will boost their top-four hopes.
Die Leuchten are unbeaten in their last three games against Zurich, who have shown a penchant for drawing games at home. Considering the same, a low-scoring stalemate could ensue.
