Challenge League: Aarau welcome Thun in what could be an action-packed football game. Here's all the news, stats and facts!
- Aarau have the most scored goals (19) in Challenge League
- Thun have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Thun have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-8-9 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
