Venue: Stockhorn Arena (10014 seats)

Struggling Thun will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying St. Gallen in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting St. Gallen 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 4-2-5 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.
