FC Schaffhausen hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 7th position in the Challenge League table. Visiting Kriens holds 5th place with 9 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Kriens's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artifical turf have ended in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Kriens form and stats
Things could have gone better for Kriens in their Challenge League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Home advantage was not enough for Kriens in their previous game, as they lost their Challenge League-match, hosting Thun, 1-2. That result followed a home victory 5-2 versus Grasshopper.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kriens manager B. Berner as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Aarau.
2 goals so far away for Kriens, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
