Grand-Saconnex took all three points from Kreuzlingen with a 0:1 victory in the sixth round of the 1. Liga Promo on Saturday. The away side completed their fixture list with a win that moved them further clear of the hosts in the table.
Kreuzlingen sat 13th with seven points from six games, two wins and one draw. Grand-Saconnex moved up to 10th on nine points, three victories and no draws. The gap between them widened by two points after this result.
Kreuzlingen had ended their previous run at home with a 1:0 win over Breitenrain, but that form did not carry through here. They had also drawn 1:1 with Paradiso and lost 1:2 to Ham on their last outing before this fixture.
and here's the thing — we had called for a Grand-Saconnex win beforehand at 51 per cent confidence. The away side's three wins from six games suggested they carried more momentum, and that showed through on the pitch.
Grand-Saconnex had struggled away from home in their recent outings, losing 2:5 to Paradiso and 1:2 to Ham in their last two matches before this one. They had also gone down 1:4 at Schaffhausen but bounced back with a 2:1 win over Basel II.
the result leaves Kreuzlingen still searching for consistency after six rounds. Grand-Saconnex now sit above the halfway mark of the table and have three wins to build on, though they have also dropped three matches along the way.
