It's ground zero in Challenge League - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Thun and Stade Lausanne-Ouchy did in their pre-season friendlies!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Stade Lausanne-Ouchy have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-0 (win-draw-loss) from two matches.
Thun form and stats
Thun have prepared for this season with three friendly games versus mixed opposition. Results from training matches should always be treated with caution, but the takeaways from these three matches are 0 victories, 1 draws and 2 losses. In these games, Thun have scored 3 goals and conceded 9 times.
Disaster struck Thun last season as they could not defend their status as a Super League team. With 18 defeats from 36 games, and only 10 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Thun are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W7 D4 L7.
Stade Lausanne-Ouchy form and stats
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Stade Lausanne-Ouchy have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 0 draws and 2 defeats from three fixtures.
Let's have a look at how Stade Lausanne-Ouchy performed last season in the Challenge League: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 9 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 47 and conceded 64 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 5 and lost 9 with 20/38 goals scored/conceded.
