Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stockhorn Arena (10014 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Super League, with both Thun and Lugano experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic \"six-pointer\" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 7th place.

Thun and Lugano 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.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Lugano have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 1-4-5 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
