Recent Form of Both Teams
VBC Thun
-
With 5 wins in 15 matches, the record is somewhat decent, but the last three matches all ended in defeats (1:3, 1:3, 0:3).
-
The team will do everything to snap this losing streak and regain confidence in front of the home crowd.
-
If Thun manages to utilize its attacking potential and keep errors to a minimum, they could secure vital points.
City Volley Basel
-
With only 3 wins in 16 matches and a negative set record (18:43), Basel is currently bottom of the table.
-
Recent results (0:3, 1:3, 1:3) reflect a similar need for a turnaround, much like Thun.
-
The team often struggles with composure during decisive points, especially in close sets.
-
However, City Volley Basel can be a wild card when team spirit and cohesion click.
Match Outlook
This match is of utmost importance to both teams. Thun could move closer to mid-table with a three-point victory (3:0 or 3:1). Basel, on the other hand, must take every opportunity to move off the bottom spot or at least avoid falling further behind.
The early stages are likely to be decisive, as both sides will look to break their negative runs as quickly as possible. Fans can expect a closely contested battle where every point matters.
