Shape curve: Different signs
Wil’s strong cup performance against FC Winterthur was followed by an equally good performance against Stade Lausanne Ouchy. Unfortunately, they were unable to reward themselves with a goal. The end result was a 0:0 draw, which could have been better. Thun, on the other hand, are in a mini-form crisis. They have not won a championship for around a month – an unusual dry spell for the current league leaders. Most recently, they suffered a home defeat against Bellinzona. Will the negative spiral continue on Monday?
We are looking forward to this: Reunion with Genis Montolio
It will be an emotional reunion with former crowd favorite Genis Montolio. The ex-Wiler has established himself as a major player at Thun and will be excited about the duel against his old club on Monday. But Nils Reichmuth, another ex-Wiler, is also returning to his familiar place of work. Will the return inspire Thun – or will it give Wil an additional motivational boost?
Key duel: Wil’s central defence against Thun’s attack
The most important duel on the pitch will be between Wil’s central defenders Jacovic and Geiger and the dangerous Thun strike duo Gutbub and Samba. The entire Wil defense must be on guard, because Thun’s attack is the most dangerous in the league, having already scored 15 goals.
This is something to talk about: Thun’s strong squad
The league leaders have strengthened their squad just before the transfer deadline and have an incredibly strong and broad squad. With three games in a week, there will be rotation – no question about it. Wil will have to be prepared for the fact that no matter which Thun players are on the pitch, they will give their all and be fresh to break the small winless streak.
History of the duel: time for a correction
They played against each other 34 times in total. FC Wil 1900 lost 19 times – from Wil’s point of view, a record that urgently needs to be improved. The last away win against the Bernese Oberland team was two years ago, and Wil has not been able to beat Thun in the Lidl Arena for over four years. It’s high time to end this dry spell and finally improve the record!
Fan power: Good atmosphere expected
Monday evening, floodlights and the league leaders as guests – the atmosphere in the Wil stadium will certainly be great! After the good performance against Ouchy and Winterthur, the fans will be keen for a second home win.
Weather and pitch conditions: Perfect conditions
The weather will not play a role this Monday either – pleasant autumn weather and a top pitch promise the best conditions for the duel between the two teams.
Injury and suspension list: No new worries
Wil’s injury list is still the same: Abazi, Borges, Neziri, Saho and Schmid are still out. There are also 2-3 other players who have minor injuries from the last game and whose participation is questionable.
HOP WANT!
