FC Thun require one of the greatest comebacks in European qualifying history when they host Lech Poznań in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The Polish champions carry a virtually insurmountable 7-0 aggregate advantage to Switzerland after Patrik Wålemark scored twice in a remarkable first-leg victory that also featured goals from Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, Mateusz Skrzypczak, Radosław Murawski, Daniel Håkans and Robert Gumny. The return match kicks off at 20:00 Central European Summer Time and local Swiss time (14:00 US Eastern) at the VISANA Stadion in Thun, also widely known by its former name, Stockhorn Arena. Thun must win by seven goals to force extra time or by eight to qualify inside 90 minutes, while Lech will reach the Europa League league phase barring an unprecedented collapse; the losing side enters the Conference League league phase.

How to watch Thun vs Lech Poznan - UEFA Europa League play-off match

First-leg context and recent form

Lech overwhelmed Thun with five first-half goals in Poznań. Wålemark struck in the 10th and 25th minutes, either side of Sayyadmanesh’s finish, before Skrzypczak and Murawski put the result beyond doubt. Håkans scored shortly after halftime and Gumny completed the 7-0 rout.

The scoreline was supported by Lech’s attacking dominance: the hosts registered 20 attempts, 11 of them on target, and generated 2.85 expected goals. Thun managed nine shots but created an xG total of only 0.57.

Thun have lost five of their previous seven games across all competitions and have won only one of their last five home fixtures. Lech, meanwhile, have recorded five consecutive victories and four successive clean sheets. Both clubs had their weekend league matches postponed, giving them a full week to prepare for the return leg.

Team news

FC Thun

Defensive midfielder Mattias Käit remains unavailable with a muscular injury. Justin Roth and Nassim Zoukit are expected to form the central-midfield partnership in his absence.

Centre-back Genís Montolio is continuing his rehabilitation following an ACL injury and will also miss the match. Jan Bamert and captain Marco Bürki should therefore start together in central defence.

Coach Gian-Luca Privitelli may make changes after the heavy first-leg defeat. Fabio Saiz and Tim Strannegård are candidates to return after being introduced at halftime in Poznań, while Brighton Labeau and Marc Gutbub are expected to continue as the attacking pair.

Lech Poznań

Captain Mikael Ishak is unavailable after suffering a grade-one hamstring injury against KÍ Klaksvík. Lech expect the striker to remain sidelined for approximately three weeks.

João Moutinho remains out with a foot injury. Leo Bengtsson and Filip Jagiełło have resumed portions of team training but are not expected to be risked in Switzerland.

Wålemark left the first leg after experiencing hamstring discomfort, but scans revealed no significant injury and he is available. Given Lech’s seven-goal advantage, Niels Frederiksen could nevertheless rest him and start Håkans, who scored immediately after replacing the Swedish winger.

Yannick Agnero and Terry Yegbe are available following earlier visa issues and could receive minutes, while Sayyadmanesh is expected to continue at centre-forward in Ishak’s absence.

Predicted lineups

FC Thun (4-4-2): Niklas Steffen; Fabio Fehr, Jan Bamert, Marco Bürki, Miguel Heule; Nils Reichmuth, Justin Roth, Nassim Zoukit, Valmir Matoshi; Marc Gutbub, Brighton Labeau.
