Aarau vs FCSG should be a very good one. The Wil YB could be interesting as well.

 

I had forgot that Köniz had all of those players. Not your typical PL team.

16:00 Wohlen ? - ? Thun

17:30 Schaffhausen ? - ? Grasshoppers

December 9

Biggest surprise was the YB loss and that Basel struggled. The draw is as follows:

27.02. Lausanne-Sport - Kriens/Sion
27.02. Wohlen/Thun - Basel
27.02. Aarau/St.Gallen - Grasshoppers
27.02. Wil - Zürich​

 

Meaningful matches start this weekend with three Cup matches.
Kriens/Sion
Wohlen/Thun
Aarau/St.Gallen

 

http://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/schweizer-cup/st-gallen-stolpert-in-aarau

Aarau with the 2-0 win over FCSG. Lots of missed chances for both teams. It was pretty obvious that it was the first competitive match for both teams in a few months. I also love the "Final Countdown" after the goals!

http://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/schweizer-cup/favoritensiege-fuer-thun-und-sion
Wohlen could not upset Thun and lost 1-2. Great save on the PK for Wohlen. I love the beard at 1:48 into the clip.

The Sion match was not really a difficult one for them. They defeated Kriens 4-0.


Next round is as follows:
27 Feb
Aarau vs GCZ 16:00
LS vs Sion 16:00
Thun vs Basel 16:00
Wil vs FC Zurich

 

27 Feb
Aarau vs GCZ 20:15
LS vs Sion 20:30
Thun vs Basel 19:45
Wil vs FC Zurich 19:30

Some good story lines. Sion with a new coach (again) agains their loval rivals. FCZ and Thun coming off 4-0 victories over the weekend. GCZ with a difficult away match at Aarau. Should be fun.

 

27 Feb
Aarau vs GCZ 1-4
LS vs Sion 0-2
Thun vs Basel 1-2
Wil vs FC Zurich 1-2

 

GCZ - Basel in 1.5 hours. It should be a really good match.

 

Two nice goals led to a 1-1 draw that resulted in PK's. Basel who won on PKs last season, lost this season 3-2.

Congrats GCZ! If nothing else, you look to have prevented the Basel double, and could still possibly will the double yourself.

 

I realized my mistake too late to change it. Sorry.
