We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Thun form and stats

Thun have played three Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Game days at Stockhorn Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Thun as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Thun's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-4 versus Servette. A strong away win before that one, visiting Signal and winning 2-0.

Thun has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Thun have allowed the opposition to score 9 goals here at Stockhorn Arena. Thun's defense is seriously deficient as 9 goals have been conceded in these matches.

Sion form and stats

Four points from two away games for Sion, meaning one draw and one victory in the Super League so far. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Sion hope to make it five in this match.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Sion has managed 1 goal and let in 0 from 2 matches.
