Aarau have beaten Neuchâtel Xamax five times in the last six meetings and won away in the most recent one back in August, but this time the form of the two teams has gone in different directions since then. Neuchâtel Xamax have returned to league play well, winning 3-0 in their last outing in this competition and are unbeaten in 3 straight matches, while Aarau lost their most recent league game 1-2 even though they had just won 2-0 in the cup before that. The defence is still a problem to fix, as they have conceded in every league game recently. This game is likely to see Aarau as the side pushing forward, because the hosts sit back and wait for their moments and often score late, while Aarau score a lot between the 31st and 45th minutes, accounting for 21% of all their goals. The game could end up close and decided by small details.
