Grasshopper are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. Before that game, the home loss against Vaduz with the scoreline 1-2.

A decent goal production from Grasshopper in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 10 league matches. Grasshopper's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 13 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Kriens are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Challenge League against Wil (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lausanne Sport wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kriens as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Kriens have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
