It's early days in the Challenge League and both Kriens and Grasshopper are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kriens and Grasshopper.
Kriens form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Kriens's two home games in the Challenge League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadion Kleinfeld.
It's back home for Kriens, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Wil away with the result 1-0. Asumah Abubakar found the net in that victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Stade Lausanne-Ouchy (1-2).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Kriens, as the Challenge League home game vs Thun is only three days away.
At Stadion Kleinfeld, Kriens has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Grasshopper form and stats
Grasshopper, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Challenge League, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Challenge League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
There might be some fixture complaints from Grasshopper as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Challenge League match against Neuchâtel Xamax (0-1). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Chiasso at their stadium, the result 2-0.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting FC Schaffhausen in just four days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Grasshopper has managed 2 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: one win for Kriens, two draws and three wins for Grasshopper. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
