The Swiss club plays in a stronger league and has the advantage of being able to access its home stadium, Stockholm Arena. However, Thun excels at converting set-pieces, which could be a key factor against their Icelandic opponents.
Vikingur Reykjavik, despite leading the Icelandic league, has experienced serious problems in European away matches. Statistics show that the team has lost by significant margins in recent away games in this competition, and its average goal-scoring rate is only 1.5 goals on the road compared to 2.7 at home. The visitors' defense is also vulnerable, conceding in 100% of their away matches.
Thun, although in poor form, is still superior to their Icelandic opponents. The hosts' home record in European competitions demonstrates their ability to score, while Vikingur's poor away form creates the conditions for a confident victory for the Swiss.
