The final match of the 2023-24 Swiss Super League sees Luzern taking on Stade Lausanne-Ouchy at the Swissporarena on Tuesday night.
While Luzern’s safety is already confirmed, the visitors are guaranteed to finish bottom of the table.
Luzern’s Season So Far
Luzern, who finished fourth last season, were hopeful of competing in the championship round this year.
However, they missed out by four points, joining the relegation round instead. Despite this setback, their safety was never in question, with a substantial lead over the relegation-threatened teams.
Heading into this final match, Luzern aim to secure the top spot in the relegation round, needing a win to stay ahead of FC Basel.
Stade Lausanne-Ouchy’s Struggles
Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, newly promoted to the Swiss top flight, have had a tough season.
With only 26 points from 37 games, they struggled to adapt, resulting in their relegation.
Anthony Braizat, who led the team to promotion, was replaced by Ricardo Dionisio in November after a poor start.
Dionisio managed only four wins in 24 matches, cementing their position at the bottom of the table.
