Thanks to a largely available group of players, there’s just the one fitness problem for the FC Thun gaffer Marc Schneider to be concerned with. Nicola Sutter (Unknown Injury) won’t be in action.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that FC Thun are dangerous enough to get a goal against this Lugano outfit, but that may not be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re predicting a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Lugano at the end of the 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
