Wil form and stats

6-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Challenge League numbers at home for Wil, who have the fewest clean sheets (5) in Challenge League, so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Wil with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Neuchâtel Xamax game, 45 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

V. Fazliu was the last player to score a league goal for Wil and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Wil haven't scored in 217 minutes.

Wil faced defeat in their previous match, away at Grasshopper (0-1). Prior to that, an away loss at Winterthur.

The penalty miss from P. Muntwiler in the defeat against Grasshopper was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

There will be little rest for Wil after this match as they are travelling to Kriens for a Challenge League game in only four days.

Wil are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. From these home matches, Wil have conceded only 12 goals.

Aarau form and stats

5 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Aarau, who have the most scored goals (52) in Challenge League, playing as the away team in the Challenge League this season.

Aarau are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the Challenge League against Chiasso (placed 10th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Neuchâtel Xamax at their stadium, the result 1-0.

The schedule is very tough for Aarau now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Challenge League game at Winterthur is waiting in only three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Aarau have scored 19 goals in 14 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Aarau have conceded 23 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

Aarau - Wil 3-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Wil four wins, one draw and Aarau five victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
