There have been little to rest for the home side, as they performed in a Swiss Cup game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Luzern, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Wil have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-3-5 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
