It's early days in the Super League and both Vaduz and Zürich are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Vaduz form and stats

Two Super League home games so far for Vaduz, who are yet to win here at Rheinpark Stadion. Only 1 point so far.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Lugano in the Super League last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that match was a defeat to St. Gallen (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Vaduz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Vaduz as a small favourite), we find seven games. Vaduz has won six of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Vaduz has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Zürich form and stats

No Super League points yet away for Zürich, from their first 2 matches. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Zürich are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Zürich, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Lausanne Sport (placed 2nd). A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Lugano.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Lausanne Sport was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Zürich in our archives, and the results are: one win for Zürich, three draws and two defeats.

Zürich have the goal stats of 1-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Vaduz won one, Zürich won five and four draws. eight games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
