Thun form and stats
Thun must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Challenge League games here at Stockhorn Arena.
Thun lost their last game at FC Schaffhausen (placed 7th) after a 1-2 scoreline.
Previous to that game, a Swiss Cup home match hosting Grasshopper in a game that was won 1-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Thun have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost one.
