FC Schaffhausen
LWDLLL 📉
FC Schaffhausen will be looking for an improved result here following the 1-0 Challenge League loss in their previous game against FC Vaduz.
Fabrizio Cavegn (57') scored for FC Vaduz.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that FC Schaffhausen haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that FC Schaffhausen have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 11 goals on the way. That kind of trend might not be carried forward here, however.
Heading into this contest, FC Schaffhausen have not won at home in their last 10 matches in the league. They will be so desperate to end this run.
AC Bellinzona
WWDWDW 📈
AC Bellinzona will go into this meeting after a 3-1 Challenge League win with the eclipse of FC Thun in their last game.
The only scorer from AC Bellinzona was Cristian Souza (52'). Jan Bamert (68') was the scorer for FC Thun.
Illustrating their partiality to action-packed matches, goals have been seen as many as 21 times in the previous six games in which AC Bellinzona have taken to the field, yielding an average of 3.5 goals each meeting. Their opponents have hit 7 of this grand total.
Pre-game facts show that AC Bellinzona:
- are undefeated in their last 2 away league matches.
- are without a win away from home in their last 8 league matches. A poor run.
🤜🤛

Prediction
We think that FC Schaffhausen could find themselves struggling to find the net against this AC Bellinzona outfit who we think should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.
We therefore see a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 advantage for AC Bellinzona at the end of the 90.
Should be a close one.
