Kriens form and stats

Three Challenge League home games done for Kriens, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. It's trouble wherever Kriens are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The Kriens fans got no joy from their last match, a Swiss Cup game also here at Stadion Kleinfeld: A 0-1 defeat against Zurich.

A Challenge League defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Vaduz.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kriens perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kriens as a small favourite), we find nine games. Kriens has won five of these, drawn zero and lost four.

Kriens are traveling soon after this match as the Challenge League match at Stade Lausanne-Ouchy awaits in three days.

The Kriens fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Kriens having conceded 8 goals here at Stadion Kleinfeld so far.

Yverdon Sport form and stats

No Challenge League points yet away for Yverdon Sport, from their first 3 matches. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Yverdon Sport, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Cham game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Yverdon had fun at their own home (Stadion Kleinfeld) last time out, beating Wil 3-0. S. Vladi, K. Koné and M. Eberhard scored.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Aarau in the Challenge League.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Yverdon Sport playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were one Yverdon Sport win, zero draws and zero defeats.

A new game in only three days for Yverdon, the Challenge League home match versus Vaduz. Busy days.

Yverdon have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. There are big problems for the Yverdon defense as they have conceded 10 goals in 3 away games.
