Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Lipo Park (8200 seats)

FC Schaffhausen are welcoming Vaduz for another important game after their 0-5 result against 1st-placed Lausanne Sport.

FC Schaffhausen and Vaduz 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Vaduz have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 0-2-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

FC Schaffhausen form and stats

FC Schaffhausen's struggle is real here at Lipo Park with only 7 points collected from 7 Challenge League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-2. Two draws in a row at home now for FC Schaffhausen.

The fans are hoping that FC Schaffhausen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Challenge League game against Lausanne Sport (placed 1st). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Winterthur that ended 1-1.

FC Schaffhausen were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

This is expected to be a close game, with FC Schaffhausen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FC Schaffhausen as a small favourite), we find four games. FC Schaffhausen has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The FC Schaffhausen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. FC Schaffhausen have conceded 10 in these home matches.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Aarau (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The Challenge League match ended in a draw 2-2. That result followed a home victory 4-2 versus Wil.
