Aarau and Vaduz face off in the Challenge League on Friday evening. The starting position could hardly be more exciting. The leaders from Liechtenstein currently have a three-point lead over their closest rivals.
With eleven rounds to go, Vaduz lead the Challenge League table by three points from FC Aarau, who in turn have a ten-point advantage over Yverdon. The likelihood of Vaduz and Aarau finishing first and second at the end of the season is therefore high.
However, whether they finish the season in first or second place makes a huge difference. The team finishing top of the table will be promoted directly to the Super League, while the runner-up will end up in the barrage and fight for the last place in the top flight against the team finishing second last in the Super League.
The promotion race will not be decided on Friday evening, as there are still 30 points up for grabs after that. But if you compare the whole thing to a boxing match, you could say that Vaduz have the chance to put Aarau on the board for the first time. However, a victory by knockout is not yet possible on matchday 26. Conversely, Aarau could score an effective goal if they win.
