Etoile Carouge FC - SC Kriens Forudsigelser og Spiltips

Etoile Carouge come in off a confidence-boosting 2-1 away win at Aarau and sit 7th on 12 points, three points behind Kriens. They have been far stronger at home (78% of their points and 75% of their goals have come at the Fontenette), their defence ranks 4th in the league (1.36 conceded per game) and they have scored in each of their last seven matches, led by Cleilton Monteiro da Costa (13 goals). They also have a clear revenge motive after the 4-1 defeat at Kriens on 18 September. Kriens, by contrast, are in a mini-crisis: only one point from their last two games, including a 5-2 hammering at Yverdon, and they are badly depleted. Luka Sliskovic (cruciate ligament), Marvin Akahomen (meniscus), Lorin Jetzer, Daoud Toure, Julian Herrmann and Kevin Trondle are all unavailable, stripping both their attack (Sliskovic) and their back line (Akahomen, Jetzer). Away from home they have won just one of five, and their last visit to Carouge's ground produced a defeat.
