Wil hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 32 points and a 7th position in the Challenge League table. Visiting Kriens holds 4th place with 43 pts.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Wil and Kriens.
Wil form and stats
Wil have played 13 Challenge League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager C. Sforza led his Wil to a defeat in the Challenge League match away at Grasshopper. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at IGP Arena. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Winterthur.
This is expected to be a close game, with Wil perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wil as a small favourite), we find eight games. Wil has won five of these, drawn two and lost one.
The manager C. Sforza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Schaffhausen in only three days.
The Wil fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 24 goals in 13 league matches. On the other hand, Wil have conceded 13 goals.
Kriens form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Challenge League.
The supporters enjoyed Kriens's previous game versus Chiasso (placed 10th), a Challenge League 4-1 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 2-4 loss visiting Vaduz's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kriens playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Kriens wins, two draws and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for Kriens, the Challenge League home match versus Aarau. Busy days.
The visiting Kriens have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 16 goals from 13 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Kriens have conceded 25 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
