Thun are welcoming Neuchâtel Xamax for another important game after their 0-4 result against 1st-placed Young Boys.
Thun have less rest than Neuchâtel Xamax in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Super League game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Young Boys, so at least Thun are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Thun form and stats
Thun, who have the most conceded goals (60) in Super League, have played 14 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-7 (wins-draws-losses). Thun has recorded two wins in a row here at Stockhorn Arena, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Thun are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 249 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by G. Karlen).
No payout for Thun in their previous match, an away game at Young Boys that ended in defeat 0-4. Prior to that, an away loss at Luzern.
As you see from the result above, Thun suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

It could be relevant to look at how Thun have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost four.

Neuchâtel Xamax form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Neuchâtel Xamax so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 2-7-5 (win-draw-lose). Neuchâtel has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Neuchâtel delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Zürich (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Super League game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Basel wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Neuchâtel playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Neuchâtel Xamax wins, zero draws and one defeat.
After this away game Neuchâtel Xamax return home for a Super League game against Sion. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Neuchâtel Xamax have scored 15 goals in 14 league games away. The Neuchâtel manager S. Henchoz has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
