On November 17, in the last round of the group round of the League of Nations 2020/2021, the national team of Ukraine in Lucerne at the stadium "Svisporarena" will face the team of Switzerland (the meeting starts at 21.45).

For the hosts, the match with the blue and yellows will be the 19th in the history held in this city. The Swiss played in 10 matches between April 21, 1971 and April 2, 1997, in the old Allmand arena. The Swiss national team has already played eight matches since May 30, 2012 at the Swissporane.

The general statistics of the home matches in Lucerne are as follows: 13 wins, three draws and two defeats.

Interestingly, Switzerland failed once at two different stadiums. With the shield from Lucerne went the Yugoslavs, who won the "Allmandy" in a friendly match with a score of 2: 0 on August 24, 1988, and the Romanians, who beat the Swiss - 1: 0 at the "Swissporane" also in a friendly match on May 30, 2012. Note that this was the opening match of the new stadium, and since then Switzerland has won exclusively with a total score of 21: 2!

We will add that our future rival had his last match in Lucerne almost exactly two years ago. On November 18 in the League of Nations 2018/2019, the hosts defeated Belgium - 5: 2.
