Kriens will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind Grasshopper.
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
9 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Kriens have to build on here at Stadion Kleinfeld in the Challenge League.
Kriens haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 290 minutes ago. R. Hoxha scored that one.
The spoils were shared in Kriens's previous game, also at home. Visiting Grasshopper (placed 2nd) travelled back with a draw after a 4-4 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The Kriens manager B. Berner has got the team scoring with 32 from 16 home games in the league. Kriens have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Grasshopper form and stats
7 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Grasshopper playing as the away team in the Challenge League this season.
Grasshopper are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 4-4 draw at Kriens (placed 4th). That result followed a home victory 5-3 versus FC Schaffhausen.
It looked so good for Grasshopper vs Kriens, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 3-0 lead was turned into a 4-4 draw. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Grasshopper, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
Grasshopper are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 21 away goals from 15 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Grasshopper have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Grasshopper - Kriens 0-1. Numbers for the last five meetings between these two teams are: one win for Kriens, one draw and three wins for Grasshopper. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
