FC Yverdon-Sports, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-0 Swiss Cup triumph over Servette FC.
The only name on the scoresheet from FC Yverdon-Sports was Hélios Sessolo (59').
Their most recent results really do illustrate the point that much respect should be given to the FC Yverdon-Sports backline. FC Yverdon-Sports have been mean at the back, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their past 6 matches standing at 4. We will have to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.
In their last fixture, Stade Nyonnais drew 1-1 in the Swiss Cup tie with FC Zürich.
Matthias Phaëton (20') scored for FC Zürich. Stade Nyonnais won the match 3-1 in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Stade Nyonnais have attacked well in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 14 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, Stade Nyonnais can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same clashes.
Heading into this contest, Stade Nyonnais haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league matches.
Stade Nyonnais has to choose a team with limited availability. Maxim Leclercq (unknown injury) and Badara Diomandé (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
It looks to us that FC Yverdon-Sports will, in all likelihood, convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Stade Nyonnais could well struggle finding the net themselves - but, we do see them scoring here.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for FC Yverdon-Sports when all’s said and done.
