Thun vs Bulach Prediction at 13-12-2025

Team Analysis

Thun: Form and Strengths

Thun comes into this match in commendable form with a recent record of 4 wins, 1 loss in their last 5 games. Their last match concluded with a resounding 5-2 victory against Geneva, showcasing their offensive prowess. The core of their strength lies in the well-rounded performances from forwards Marco Schreiber and Henrik Carlson, both of whom have consistently found the back of the net. With an average of 3.2 goals scored per game this season, Thun has established itself as a top offensive unit.

However, stability in defense has been a challenge, with 3.0 goals conceded per game. Key defensive player Anton Fischer will need to tighten the ship to avoid unnecessary pressure against Bulach’s quick transitions.

Bulach: Recent Performance and Strategies

On the other hand, Bulach has struggled in recent matches, registering only 1 win out of their last 5, accompanied by 3 losses and a singular draw. Their last outing resulted in a disappointing 1-3 loss to Zurich, raising concerns about their attacking setup. Currently averaging just 2.1 goals per game, Bulach will rely heavily on the experience of David Kreiss and young forward Luke Gotze to create scoring opportunities. Defensively, their numbers aren’t any better, conceding 3.5 goals per game.

In their pursuit of a tactical revival, manager Karl Weiss is expected to employ a more aggressive forecheck strategy, knowing that keeping Thun’s forwards at bay will be paramount to securing points.
