The Thun manager M. Schneider attacks this game with the team placed 7th so far. In the visitors dressing room Neuchâtel Xamax and their manager S. Henchoz are in 10th place before this match.
Thun and Neuchâtel Xamax should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Thun form and stats
The first Challenge League game here at Stockhorn Arena resulted in a draw. Last season Thun's home game statistics were 7 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 18 games. The Thun fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stockhorn Arena and will expect new points from this game. Thun has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.
In their previous game, the manager M. Schneider led his Thun to a defeat in the Challenge League match away at Wil. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stockhorn Arena. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Stade Lausanne-Ouchy that ended 2-2.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Thun at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Neuchâtel Xamax form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Challenge League ended in defeat. Last season Neuchâtel Xamax had these away match statistics: Played 18; won 3, drew 7 and lost 8. It's looking increasingly bleak for Neuchâtel who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Luzern was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Henchoz, the Neuchâtel manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Home advantage was not enough for Neuchâtel in their previous game, as they lost their Challenge League-match, hosting FC Schaffhausen, 0-3. Prior to that match, the Neuchâtel manager S. Henchoz faced defeat when travelling to Kriens and losing 1-3.
It's early days yet, but Neuchâtel Xamax has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Thun wins - draws - Neuchâtel Xamax wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
