Neuchâtel Xamax host Winterthur in the Challenge League, with the home side having just lost three league games in a row, their defence leaking goals badly. Winterthur, meanwhile, have won five in a row in all competitions and just thrashed their opponents 7-3 in their last game. The two teams come into this in sharply contrasting form. The home side's problems are clearly at the back, having conceded 17 goals in 9 league games, while Winterthur have scored 19 in the same number of matches. The visitors' attack is firing on all cylinders, and based on the expected line-ups, Winterthur's forward line should remain at full strength. If Winterthur score first as their recent form suggests, the demoralised home side will have to open up and fight, which will only create more space for the visitors to counter and add to their tally. The game looks likely to flow in one direction.
