Nigeria is the highest-scoring team in the competition with 12 goals, while Algeria has averaged two goals per game. Both sides have world-class attackers in Lookman, Osimhen, and Mahrez who are in peak form. Nigeria has struggled for clean sheets prior to the last round, and Algeria's expansive style often leaves them open to quick transitions. Given the high shot volume from both teams, it is reasonable to expect each side to find the net at least once during regulation time in what should be an open quarter-final.
▾
This scoreline accounts for the explosive nature of both attacks while recognizing that 90 minutes might not be enough to separate these heavyweights. Nigeria’s average of three goals per game and Algeria’s consistent scoring record suggest a high-scoring draw is a plausible outcome. Both teams have the quality to recover from going a goal down, leading to a back-and-forth contest. With key creative players like Lookman and Maza producing high goal involvement, a 2-2 result aligns with the statistical trends and tactical openness expected at the Stade de Marrakech.

Match Tempo: Average Total Goals per League Game
A quick snapshot of how open matches tend to be across each club’s league season so far.
Their matches have regularly moved beyond the “quiet” range on the scoreboard, with both goals for and goals against contributing.

Defensive Stability: Clean Sheet Rate
Clean sheets show how often a side prevents the opponent scoring across league matches.
Winterthur have recorded 0 clean sheets across 17 league fixtures, underlining how difficult “lockdown” games have been for them.
Thun have kept 4 clean sheets in 17 league games, a steadier base even when matches don’t always stay spotless.
Attacking Output: Goals Scored per Match
These figures show how often each side finds the net on average across their league season.
They’ve still produced 22 goals in 17 games, even alongside a difficult defensive season.
Thun have scored 31 in 17 league matches, reflecting a consistent ability to put teams under pressure on the scoreboard.
Can Winterthur’s chaotic season finally steady against the league leaders?
The table tells a simple story: Thun sit 1st with 34 points from 17 matches, while Winterthur are 12th with 10 points from the same number of games. Thun have scored 31 and conceded 20; Winterthur have scored 22 and conceded 46. It’s the sort of fixture where the favourite arrives knowing the job description, and the underdog knows the margins are going to be thin.
Thun’s trip comes with a little edge to it, too. They were beaten 2–0 by St. Gallen on Saturday, a result that trimmed the lead at the top to three points. So while the “top vs bottom” label can sometimes tempt complacency, the timing here nudges the visitors towards a sharper, more businesslike performance.
On the team news front, the likely shapes give this one a clear tactical framework. Winterthur’s possible XI reads like a 4-5-1: Stefanos Kapino behind a back four of Fabian Rohner, Remo Arnold, Adrian Durrer and Souleymane Diaby; a busy midfield line with Alexandre Jankewitz, Luca Zuffi, Bafodé Dansoko, Théo Golliard and Pajtim Kasami; and Andrin Hunziker leading the line. Thun’s likely side looks closer to a 4-4-2: Niklas Steffen in goal; Fabio Fehr, Marco Bürki, Franke and Michael Heule across the back; Janjicic, Leonardo Bertone, Franz-Ethan Meichtry and Valmir Matoshi in midfield; with Elmin Rastoder alongside Christopher Ibayi up top.
That contrast matters. Winterthur’s extra body in midfield hints at a plan to clog central areas, slow the rhythm, and make Thun work for clean entries into the final third. Thun, with two forwards and a more direct-looking front line, have the tools to turn it into a territory game: pin Winterthur back, force the wide defenders to make decisions, and keep the home side running towards their own goal.

And even if Winterthur manage to keep it compact early, their season has had a habit of opening up. Their league matches are averaging 4.00 total goals, and they’re conceding 2.71 per game. That’s not a small wobble — it’s a theme. For Thun, the picture is steadier: their matches average 3.00 total goals, they score 1.82 per game, and concede 1.18. In other words, Thun bring structure; Winterthur bring chaos. The intrigue is what happens when those two worlds collide.
Why we Publish Only One Tip
At BettingTips4You, we publish one primary pick because it forces clarity. One angle, one argument, one standard of accountability. Football is noisy — red cards, deflections, moments of brilliance — so a single selection keeps the focus on the clearest pathway suggested by the tactical match-up and the numbers, while still respecting the risk that comes with any bet.

Both Teams To Score — Yes
Rationale
Start with how the game is likely to be played, because that’s where the logic lives.
Winterthur’s likely 4-5-1 suggests they want bodies between the lines. With Jankewitz and Zuffi available to screen, and Dansoko, Golliard and Kasami filling the next band, it’s set up to make Thun’s midfielders play in front of them rather than through them. In possession, that same shape can help Winterthur spring forward quickly: one striker (Hunziker) plus runners from midfield can turn a clearance into a proper attack if the timing’s right.
The problem for Winterthur is what happens when the wave keeps coming back. Thun’s possible 4-4-2 gives them natural presence in the box and in second-ball areas. With Rastoder and Ibayi occupying central defenders, the wide areas can become a decision-making nightmare for Winterthur’s full-backs. Do Rohner and Diaby stay narrow to protect the centre, or jump out to stop service? Either choice creates a gap somewhere — and gaps are what a two-forward system tries to manufacture.
Now bridge that tactical picture into the high-signal season indicators.
Winterthur have kept 0% clean sheets in the league. That number measures how often a side shuts an opponent out entirely; here, it suggests that even when Winterthur compete, they still tend to concede at least once. That matters for this pick because it makes “Thun scoring” feel less like a heroic leap and more like the baseline game state.
On the other side, Winterthur do carry enough punch to contribute themselves. They score 1.29 goals per match, which is simply their average goals scored in league games. It’s not elite, but it’s not nothing — and in a match where Thun’s likely to control territory, Winterthur’s best moments may come from transitions rather than sustained pressure. If Kasami and Golliard can connect quickly into Hunziker, one clean break or one set of second balls can be enough to land a goal, even in a game where they spend long spells without the ball.
Thun’s defensive profile also leaves the door ajar. They concede 1.18 per match and have a 24% clean-sheet rate. Those figures measure how frequently opponents get on the scoresheet and how often Thun shut teams out completely; together, they suggest that Thun are solid but not airtight. In a “top vs bottom” fixture, that’s important, because it stops the match narrative becoming a one-way shutout assumption.
Then there’s the most direct support for the selection: both sides’ BTTS rates. Winterthur have seen Both Teams To Score land in 65% of their league matches, and at home that rises to 88%. Thun’s BTTS rate sits at 65% overall. BTTS is a simple measure — it lands when each team scores at least once — and these percentages suggest the match-ups involving both clubs have regularly produced goals at both ends. In a cup-tie type atmosphere you might fear the game tightens; but these season-long patterns are at least consistent with the idea that one goal often doesn’t finish the story.
So the pick leans on a realistic match script: Thun push the game forward with two forwards and sustained pressure, which is consistent with Winterthur’s season-long difficulty keeping clean sheets; Winterthur, even while defending deep, still find routes to a goal often enough for BTTS to be live.
What could go wrong?
The obvious risk is a one-sided outcome. Thun could turn control into an early lead and then manage the game with maturity, limiting Winterthur’s transition chances and turning Kapino’s night into a long series of saves and restarts rather than genuine openings. There’s also the scenario where Winterthur’s midfield line does its job too well: the game gets stuck, the tempo drops, and the home side never get the clean break they need to score.
Correct score lean
Thun’s most frequent full-time scorelines include 1–2 (three times). With Winterthur conceding heavily across the season but still averaging over a goal scored per match, a 1–2 away win fits the “both teams score” angle without pretending it’s the only way this match can unfold.
