Struggling FC Schaffhausen will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lausanne Sport in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Lausanne Sport have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-3-1 (win-draw-loss) from five matches.
