Höngg will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 2 points behind Kosova.

Höngg and Kosova should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Höngg form and stats

With 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, Höngg are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Happy days for Höngg in their previous game, a 1.Liga Classic match away at Red Star Zürich that ended with a 1-0 victory. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Thalwil.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as United Zürich are coming to town in four days.

The Höngg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Höngg have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Kosova form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Kosova playing as the away team this season.

Kosova failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs St. Gallen II that ended with defeat 1-3. A 0-4 defeat away at Baden before that.

Kosova have scored more than twice per away game on average, an impressive attacking display. They have 18 goals from 9 away matches. The Kosova manager has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
