Winterthur vs Thun prediction 16.12.2025 | Super League

Last season, Winterthur barely escaped relegation. Unlucky for the team from Stadion Schutzenwiese is looking even weaker in the current campaign, as they have collected only ten points in 17 league rounds. Although Winterthur's results are far from good, Patrick Rahmen's team has had a few solid games lately, including a 2-2 on the road on Saturday against Zurich. The hosts were a clear favorite in that match, but the guests played well and deserved one point.

Winterthur's head coach, Patrick Rahman, was very pleased after one point against Zurich. He said, "Today we rewarded ourselves for the hard work of the last few weeks." He also said that the team probably deserved more points in recent matches, but suffered a few undeserved defeats.

Winterthur have some problems with missing players. They will be without Loic Luthi, Dario Ulrich, Randy Schneider, and Carmine Chiappetta. Also, Nishan Burkart is questionable and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

Thun returned to the Super League this season, and although most pundits expected them to struggle and fight to avoid relegation, Mauro Lustrinelli's team is currently at the top of the standings with three points more than the next team, St. Gallen. However, Thun didn't play well recently as they lost three of the previous four games. In the most recent outing, Lustrinelli's team lost 2-0 at home against St. Gallen. The guests had significantly better xG, so it is no wonder the home side ended empty-handed.

The league leader lost for the weekend against St. Gallen, and the head coach, Lustrinelli, wasn't satisfied with the team's performance. After the game, he commented, "I have to say, something was missing for us today. I spoke briefly with the players, and they themselves don't know what it was. We certainly lacked creativity. We didn't do enough to win."

Ashvin Balaruban, Mattias Kait, Layton Stewart, and Nino Ziswiler are injured and will not play on Tuesday night in Winterthur.
