Thun will be aiming to get their European campaign back on track when they host Vikingur Reykjavik in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie. The Swiss side head into the match desperate for a response after suffering a humiliating 6-0 league defeat to Young Boys. Thun were also unfortunate to bow out of the Champions League qualifiers against Dinamo Zagreb, where they produced a spirited display before ultimately falling short. Their recent form has been disappointing, with just two wins from the last ten matches, while defensive frailties remain a concern after conceding 2.7 goals per game during that spell.
Vikingur Reykjavik, meanwhile, also dropped into the Europa League after being eliminated by Hapoel Beer Sheva in the Champions League qualifiers. The Icelandic outfit have shown plenty of attacking intent this season, averaging two goals per game across their last ten matches, but their away form leaves much to be desired, with only one victory in their previous six road fixtures. To make matters worse, defender Marko Burki is suspended, while David Kait and Hugo Montolio remain sidelined through injury, limiting the visitors' options at both ends of the pitch. Even so, Vikingur have enough quality to make life difficult for Thun in what should be an open contest.
As Thun should use home advantage to edge a closely fought first leg, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (recent matches involving both clubs have regularly produced goals, making another entertaining encounter likely).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 6 August 2026 at 19:00.
