Wil form and stats

4-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Challenge League numbers at home for Wil so far this season. Wil has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager C. Sforza and the players.

The fans are hoping that Wil will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the Challenge League game against Lausanne Sport (placed 1st). Ahead of that match, Wil lost 1-4 at home to Chiasso.

Wil were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

FC Schaffhausen have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 268 minutes ago. G. Mezu was the goal scorer.

The manager M. Yakin was unhappy after their last game, a Challenge League match played at their home ground IGP Arena. FC Schaffhausen suffered a 0-3 loss to Vaduz (placed 6th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lausanne Sport wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
