Winterthur and Wil have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Challenge League.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Wil are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Late heartbreak for Wil in the Vaduz match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
After this away game Wil return home for a Challenge League game against Aarau. That game is only three sleeps after this.
