Another interesting game in the Challenge League. Thun is in the 1st position after playing two matches. They welcome Aarau who are placed 4th after one games.

The hosts Thun saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Challenge League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Yverdon Sport, was also a home game here at Stockhorn Arena. The away team is better rested.
