Thun hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 7 points and a 9th position in the Challenge League table. Visiting Aarau holds 4th place with 10 pts.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Aarau's home stadium. The visitors last five games on artifical turf have ended in 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
Thun form and stats
Thun have played three Challenge League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The Thun manager M. Schneider might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
A good away victory last time out for Thun, who won 2-1 against Kriens (placed 5th). Preceding that match was the home game against Winterthur that was lost 0-1.
The victory against Kriens came after Saleh Chihadeh's winning goal. The Thun manager M. Schneider was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 81st minute.
There will be little rest for Thun after this match as they are travelling to Grasshopper for a Challenge League game in only three days.
The Thun fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Thun have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Aarau form and stats
Things could have gone better for Aarau in their Challenge League away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Aarau are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Challenge League against Neuchatel Xamax (placed 6th). Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at FC Schaffhausen.
After this away game Aarau return home for a Challenge League game against Kriens. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Aarau are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Aarau have conceded 7 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Thun, three draws and four wins for Aarau. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
