There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with St. Gallen leading Thun by 26 points.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Super League. This match was also played here at Kybunpark. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Thun have had more rest.

14-5-16 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Thun when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 35 matches are 46-50 (scored/conceded).
