Match preview

Luzern had to make do with a share of the spoils in their curtain-raiser against Winterthur which ended goalless at Stadion Schutzenwiese on Saturday.

Despite seeing more of the ball over the course of the contest, Mario Frick's men were unable to create enough clear-cut opportunities to break the deadlock.

However, Die Leuchten managed to rediscover their touch in front of goal five days later as they claimed a 2-1 win over Djurgarden in the first leg of the sides' Conference League qualifier.

Next up is a first-ever meeting against an opposing outfit who only just gained promotion to the Swiss Super League after seven years in the lower divisions.

Off the back of three consecutive home victories by a combined score of 8-2, Sunday's hosts will back themselves to get the job done in front of their fans once again.

Lausanne-Ouchy could not have asked for a worse start to life in the top flight as they fell to a 3-0 defeat against Lugano at Stade Olympique de la Pontaise on Wednesday.

Anthony Braizat's men fell behind to Renato Steffen's opener, after which second-half goals from Zan Celar and Mohamed Amoura put the result beyond doubt.

Albeit only on goal difference, SLO currently sit bottom of the standings after the first matchday heading into this weekend's involvement.

Having recently seen their four-game unbeaten streak on the road come to an end, Sunday's visitors now set out to avoid back to back defeats away from home for the first time in over a year.
