FC Thun’s lead at the top of the table of the Challenge League on Aarau is currently 8 points. On Friday evening, the Bernese Oberländer invite you to the top fight. With an excellent starting point for the hosts: If FC Thun wins, the promotion to the Super League is a fact.
-The task against the last remaining pursuer from Aargau is not easy. With the self -confidence of 4 victories in a row, Thun comes into the top fight. But Aarau has been unbeaten since 19 games. Most recently, however, it lined up with draws and recently shared the points 7 times in a row.
Gerber wants to do the work
Thun President Andres Gerber knows about the strength of the guests and is therefore not yet sure how he opposes him Keystone-SDA said: «I don’t want to be pessimistic at all, I just want to stay calm and realistic. There were always very crazy stories in football. I am very confident that we pack it. But if it didn’t work on Friday now, it would probably spoil the mood a bit. It is important that we simply do our work. »
However, Gerber has no doubt. But he repeatedly emphasizes that the work would have to be done first: «So it is not exactly a matter of course to conquer Aarau. We are in the flow, we have a lot of confidence, we deserve the confidence. But let’s not think too much about it yet. First the work. “
Free night in Thun?
A possible climb would also lead to a freestyle in the city of Thun on Friday evening. FC Aarau with around 1200 fans traveling wants to prevent this. One point is enough to delay the decision. In fact, the Aargauers are probably only enough to remain in the race for direct ascent.
Aarau President Markus Mahler believes in the success in Thun, as he was in the Aargauer Zeitung explained: «The team has already proven several times this season that it can grow beyond herself in the big games. I have the feeling that we will experience a sack -strong FC Aarau. »
