It's still early in the Challenge League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Kriens - Thun preview!
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 Thun.
Kriens's stadium, Stadion Kleinfeld, has a grass surface. Thun have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Thun when playing on grass; 13 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses from 39 matches. They have scored 50 goals in these games and conceded 61.
Kriens form and stats
Kriens, who have the most scored goals (8) at home in Challenge League, have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Challenge League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Wil and winning 1-0.
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?
Goals are plentiful at Stadion Kleinfeld in the league this season as Kriens has scored 8 goals here in 3 home games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kriens defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Thun form and stats
Thun 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).
Prior to that result Thun won their away game at Chiasso. The scoreline was 2-0.
3 goals so far away for Thun, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
