Venue: Stockhorn Arena (10014 seats)

Season ticket holders at Stockhorn Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Thun languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Zürich will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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.

Thun's stadium, Stockhorn Arena, has a artifical turf surface. Zürich have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Zürich when playing on artifical turf; 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from twelve matches. They have scored 17 goals in these games and conceded 27.

Thun form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Super League this season. Thun, who have the most conceded goals (51) in Super League, have only managed 3 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Stockhorn Arena.

Thun faced defeat in their previous match, away at St. Gallen (2-3). Ahead of that match, Thun won a home game hosting Young Boys (1-0).

Thun didn't have luck on their side in the loss against St. Gallen as they hit the post three times.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. 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.

There will be little rest for Thun after this match as they are travelling to Luzern for a Super League game in only four days.

The Thun fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Thun have conceded 25 from these games.

Zürich form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (6) away in Super League, are W5-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Super League.

Zürich have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Yanick Brecher. It's been 185 minutes since they last conceded in Super League.

The supporters enjoyed Zürich's previous game versus Lugano (placed 7th), a Super League 1-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against St. Gallen with the score of 4-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zürich playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Zürich win, two draws and three defeats.

A new game in only three days for Zürich, the Super League home match versus Servette. Busy days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Zürich have scored 15 goals in 13 league games away. Zürich have conceded 20 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
