Yverdon Sport are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Kriens are nearing the end of this stay in this division as relegation is now unavoidable.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Yverdon Sport and Kriens.

Yverdon Sport form and stats

6 victories, 7 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Yverdon Sport have to build on here at Stade Municipal in the Challenge League. With eight home Challenge League games in a row without a win, the Yverdon fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Kriens game long ago, can be stopped today.

The home team returns to Stade Municipal after drawing with Neuchâtel Xamax (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

Ahead of that match, Yverdon Sport lost 0-4 at home to Aarau.

The Yverdon Sport fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Yverdon's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 22 times.

Kriens form and stats

There's been little loot from Kriens's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 17 away games in the Challenge League. Kriens only have 0 wins to counter their 15 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Kriens have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the FC Schaffhausen game.

Kriens's previous game was their home loss versus Vaduz (0-1).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Schaffhausen wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. There are big problems for the Kriens defense as they have conceded 52 goals in 17 away games. When Kriens is visiting a side on the bottom half, 4 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Stade Lausanne-Ouchy, Kriens and Wil.
