Grasshopper Zurich and Luzern will go head-to-head at GC Campus AG in a friendly game on Wednesday.
The hosts will head into the midweek matchup seeking to get one over the Luminaries, having failed to win their last 19 meetings since 2017.
Grasshopper Zurich returned to action last Friday when they claimed a 4-1 friendly victory over SC Rheindorf Altach.
Prior to that, they claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over FC Basel on November 12 to end their two-game losing streak in the Super League.
Grasshopper are currently seventh in the Super League standings after picking up 20 points from 16 games.
Midway through the campaign, Luzern are sixth in the league standings, three points off the Conference League qualification places.
Their place in the standings has been down to their impressive form away from home, where they boast the league’s third-best record with 11 points from eight matches.
However, Luzern are winless in their last three outings and will look to arrest their slump in form.
