Wacker's Struggles

Wacker Thun managed only one win in their last five games, losing four. They scored 161 goals but conceded 166, a negative differential that tells you defensive issues persist.

Model Projection

The statistical model projects Kadetten to score 31.5 goals and Wacker 26.4.

Key Factors

The last time these teams met, Wacker won 34:31 at home. That result proves they can compete when conditions align.

Kadetten are expected to win, though a blowout is unlikely. Five goals is the model's expectation, and the head-to-head suggests Wacker can keep games closer than that. The opening round adds uncertainty — teams often play cautiously in their first match of a new season — but Kadetten's form gives them the edge.
