An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.
Neuchâtel Xamax and Thun should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Neuchâtel Xamax form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Neuchâtel Xamax have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses from their games here at La Maladiere.
The home team returns to La Maladiere after sharing the points with Basel (placed 2nd) on their last time out; the Super League game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Lausanne Sport in the Swiss Cup.
Neuchâtel Xamax are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 attempts. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Neuchâtel Xamax defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Thun form and stats
There's been little loot from Thun's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Super League. Thun, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Super League, only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. With the Thun losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. It's all red in the travel logs of Thun, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super League home defeat versus Zurich with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 0-1 defeat away at Winterthur before that.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Thun manager M. Schneider has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
