Struggling Aarau will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Kriens in the upcoming league round. It’s 8th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
