St. Gallen form and stats

7 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what St. Gallen, who have the most scored goals (53) in Super League, have to build on here at Kybunpark in the Super League.

It's back home for St. Gallen, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sion away with the result 2-0. Cédric Itten (2) found the net in that victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 3-3 versus Young Boys.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Gallen as they have a new game in only three days, a Super League match thankfully also at home. Thun are visiting.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 12 games), Gallen's attacking play is working. St. Gallen have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Zürich form and stats

The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in Super League, are W4-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Zürich has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Zürich play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Young Boys (placed 2nd). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Neuchatel Xamax.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lugano in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Zürich as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games in the league. Zürich have conceded 20 goals in these games.
