The visiting Thun side should be favourites in this visit to Kriens, as the away team holds a 23 point advantage from their 32 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Kriens have the fewest matches over the total-line (10) in Challenge League
  • Thun have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (10) in Challenge League

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.

This pitch has grass, which is not Thun's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Thun have performed like this: Played 38 matches resulting in 12 wins, 7 draws and 19 defeats with the goal stats 45-67 (scored/conceded).

Kriens are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Thun are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
