Thun form and stats

10 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Thun, who have the most clean sheets (11) in Challenge League, have to build on here at Stockhorn Arena in the Challenge League. Two home wins in a row for Thun bring valid hopes of a third.

Aarau form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (63) in Challenge League, on their Challenge League travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats.

Impressive finishing from M. Aratore and F. Stojilkovic (3) secured the home win 4-0 against Kriens in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Schaffhausen wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

As you can tell from the results above, Aarau was very dominant against Kriens, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with M. Aratore and F. Stojilkovic (3) providing the goals. F. Stojilkovic certainly enjoyed Aarau's last game versus Kriens, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-0 victory.

Aarau are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 24 away goals from 17 games (in the league). The Aarau manager S. Keller has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.
