Luzern vs FC Zurich Prediction
Luzern are surprisingly in the hunt for European qualification, having narrowly avoided the drop last season. However, Die Leuchten have little room for error, with just two points separating them from seventh-placed Grasshoppers.
Zurich, meanwhile, have been atrocious in their title defense and were involved in a relegation scrap earlier in the season. A positive run of form has pulled them off the bottom of the standings. It's not yet Uhuru for Bo Henriksen's side, as they're still looking nervously over their shoulders at the drop zone.
A win for the visitors will catapult them into contention for continental qualification, but the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
