Aarau form and stats

Aarau must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Challenge League games here at Stadion Brügglifeld.

Aarau enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Paradiso's place. The match ended 1-0 with K. Spadanuda scoring.

A 1-1 draw away in the Challenge League before that, with Yverdon Sport the opponent.

The manager S. Keller will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Winterthur in only three days.

Aarau are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (8 goals in 3 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Aarau defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Wil form and stats

Things could have gone better for Wil in their Challenge League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

There might be some fixture complaints from Wil as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Swiss Cup match against Yverdon Sport (0-3).

A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Thun in the Challenge League.

After this away game Wil return home for a Challenge League game against FC Schaffhausen. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Wil have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The Wil manager A. Frei has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Previous ten meetings involving these sides: Aarau won four, Wil triumphed in five and we saw one draw. eight games with more than 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
