Thun vs Spartak Moscow Prediction & Betting tips
While only six tickets will be awarded for the UEFA Champions League group stage, his little brother’s preliminary round, the Europa League, will have even more seats available! The first leg of the European League qualifying in the third round is also underway this week. From a Swiss point of view, the duel between Thun and Spartak Moscow will be particularly interesting!
The Elf from the Bernese Oberland missed by a weak spring in 2019 the direct qualification for the group stage. For the tight club budget, the guaranteed revenue would have been particularly important. In the end, Thun failed to score and is a clear outsider in qualifying. Already in the home match between Thun and Spartak Moscow, according to current quotas, the guests from Russia are favored. However, both teams can not look back on a satisfactory start to the season, uncertainty is certainly present on both sides. The beginning of the game in the Stockhorn Arena is on Thursday at 18 clock. It should also be noted that it plays on artificial turf.
Thun:
The second half was absolutely disappointing for the Schneider-Elf. In 18 Super League games, there were only four wins to cheer. The comfortable advantage over the competition was still completely playful and ultimately missed the FC Thun due to two silly goals the third place – and thus the ticket for the group stage of the Europa League. Also in the Cup final, FC Thun had narrowly beaten FC Basel.
Before the start of the season, fourth place and reaching the cup final would have been an outstanding result, but given the course of the season, the disappointment was great. Who knows when FC Thun will again have the chance of a podium place in the league? With Marvin Spielmann, Thun has also lost the most dangerous offensive player to local rivals Young Boys. In return, Miguel Castroman came to Thun and should provide creative moments on the tens position.
However, the first three games of the new season were disappointing. No win, two draws and a bitter 2: 3 defeat against FC Basel over the weekend are yet to come. Playful was the performance quite appealing, but the defensive opens the opponent currently far too many possibilities. One reason for the weak start is certainly the great injury concerns. No fewer than eight players are injured due to injury.
The artificial turf in the home arena is certainly a big advantage. However, the weak start of the season, the injuries and the departure of Spielmann arguments are enough that speak against Thun and Spartak Moscow against a forecast on the home side.
Spartak Moscow:
Spartak Moscow was already able to celebrate 10 league titles in Russia. In the past season, the team of head coach Oleg Kononov but had to settle for fifth place in the table. After the runner-up championship last year, this was a disappointing season for much of the season. Above all, the offensive knew by no means to convince with only 36 goals in 30 league games.
Not surprisingly, the transfer plans this summer were accordingly in the offensive department. Ezequiel Ponce comes with 16 goals in the Greek league, but is still waiting for his first Spartak goal. Andre Schürrle was loaned by BVB and for rumored 18 million euros could Guus Til from Alkmaar be committed. The Dutchman is considered a strong youngster who should give the offensive game new impulses.
Despite the departure of Ze Luis (FC Porto) or Sofiane Hanni (Al Gharafa) Spartak Moscow can be issued a very good transfer certificate. However, there is still little to see on the course. After the successful kick-off against Dinamo St. Petersburg (1-0) there were last three league games without full success. Last Spartak Moscow even two times without own hit. The offensive issues are still there.
