It's early days in the Challenge League and both Stade Lausanne-Ouchy and Aarau 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.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
