Wil form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Wil so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-10 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Wil as they have lost eight games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Stade Lausanne-Ouchy match.

Wil go into this game after a win, the home game against Kriens that ended 2-0. Preceding that game, the 1-4 loss visiting Grasshopper's place.

A quick return to home after this game, as Wil are hosting Grasshopper in the Challenge League only three days away.

Wil have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 16 goals have been scored. The Wil manager C. Sforza has some worries about the defense as 32 goals have been conceded in these travels.
