FC Vaduz
LLWWDL
FC Vaduz will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-3 Challenge League defeat in their last game at the hands of Stade Nyonnais.
The only scorer from FC Vaduz was Sandro Wieser (47'). Dylan Dugourd (83') was the scorer for Stade Nyonnais.
It’s been all too rare in recent times where FC Vaduz have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that FC Vaduz have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 9 goals in the process.
Going into this contest, FC Vaduz have left without a victory over FC Thun in their last 22 league matches. That has got to hurt.
FC Thun
DWLWWW 📈
FC Thun will go into the meeting after a 1-2 Challenge League win over FC Sion in their previous game.
The only player to score from FC Thun was Nicola Sutter (79'). Reto Ziegler (39') scored for FC Sion.
The stats tell the story, and FC Thun have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 8 goals in all. Defensively, FC Thun have seen their frailties exposed. Such a pattern isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, though.
Ahead of this meeting, FC Thun remain undefeated by FC Vaduz when they have played them away from home in the previous 11 matches in the league. A fantastic record for the visitors.
