Fabrizio Cavegn (5') scored for FC Vaduz.

It’s been seldom in recent times that FC Thun have kept a clean sheet. In fact, FC Thun have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 8 goals along the way. Having said that, it remains to be seen whether that trend might persist in this game or not.

Analysis of their past results shows that FC Thun:

• haven't beaten Neuchatel Xamax FC in their previous 4 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 13 home league matches. What a fantastic run.
