General match analysis
Neuchâtel Xamax sit 2nd, while Aarau are 7th, and the visitors have won 3 of their 4 league matches, suffering just one defeat. Recent form also favors Xamax: they have collected 10 points from five games, compared with Aarau’s 5 points, with Aarau conceding as many as 10 goals during that period. Away from home, Xamax have a perfect record of two wins, concede an average of just 0.5 goals per match and keep a clean sheet in 50% of their appearances, while Aarau have yet to keep a clean sheet at home. The visitors also create more scoring opportunities, averaging 14.5 shots and 4 on target away from home, compared with Aarau’s 12.5 shots and 3 on target at home. Aarau score an average of 1.5 goals at home and have not failed to find the net in any match, so a draw remains a realistic outcome; however, the visitors’ more stable defense and run of two consecutive away wins point to an Xamax victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Aarau have recorded BTTS in 100% of their league matches so far and have not kept a single clean sheet, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game. Xamax score an average of 1.5 goals, while their xG stands at 1.45; combined with Aarau’s xG conceded of 1.52, this gives the visitors a solid foundation for scoring. The hosts should also respond, as they create an average of 1.56 xG, take 15.5 shots per match and have scored in every game this season. Over the last five matches, BTTS occurred in 80% of Aarau’s games and 60% of Xamax’s, with Aarau conceding an average of 2.0 goals and each team scoring 1.4 on average. Xamax’s defense is clearly more stable, with an average of 0.5 goals conceded and 50% clean sheets, but the overall set of signals still provides stronger support for BTTS - Yes. Therefore, BTTS - No is not the preferred outcome: it means that at least one team fails to score, and does not automatically imply a 0:0 draw or that neither team will score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Aarau have averaged 1.4 goals scored in their last five matches but conceded as many as 2.0, with their games ending Over 2.5 goals in 80% of cases. Neuchâtel Xamax have also averaged 1.4 goals scored in their last five outings, with an xG of 1.50, while Aarau allow opponents 1.36 xG. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in every match, and both teams register a high number of shots: Aarau 15.5 and Xamax 14.5 per game. The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals, as the full data indicates potential for around 3.00 goals, while the risk of a match featuring no more than one goal remains clearly limited.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Neuchâtel Xamax are showing clearly better recent form: they have averaged 2.0 points over their last five matches, compared with Aarau’s 1.0, recording three wins, one draw and one defeat. Over this period, the visitors conceded just 1.0 goal per match, while Aarau allowed opponents to score 2.0 goals on average, reinforcing the scenario of Xamax maintaining their lead. In the first halves, Xamax averaged 1.0 goal, compared with just 0.4 for Aarau, while the hosts were behind at the break in 20% of their last five matches. Aarau do have a higher season xG, 1.56 compared with 1.45, but their defense allows opponents 1.52 xG and has failed to keep a clean sheet. Therefore, the most likely HT/FT outcome is a Xamax lead at the break followed by a full-time victory, i.e. 2/2.
