Having a home game is secure and friendly for Zürich, but St. Gallen are fully motivated and able to get all three points. Who wins?
- Zürich have the fewest scored goals in the first half (6) in Super League
- St. Gallen have the most scored goals in the first half (21) in Super League
This should be an appealing fixture with lots of fun and excitement as both squads are well refreshed since they last ran out on the pitch. Bring it on!
Zürich form and stats
Zürich's struggle is real here at Stadion Letzigrund with only 6 points collected from 8 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4.
Zürich shared the glory with Luzern in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Luzern as Šimić's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. No victory last time out for Zürich, but the draw 2-2 felt nice for Šimić who came on as a substitute in the 77th minute and scored two goals. Boranijašević (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.24/10. Boranijašević hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Before that, Zürich had a home game versus Servette which ended with a victory 4-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Zürich have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
St. Gallen form and stats
St. Gallen have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 2-1-5 (8 played).
There were no winners in Gallen's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Basel (placed 5th). Kempter was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.65. The defender Kempter served one assist, hit two key passes and won 6 of 9 duels.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Sion with the score of 7-2.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with St. Gallen playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 5 St. Gallen wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats.
Take note! Both sides have scored at least once in 13 of this club's last 14 league fixtures.
The St. Gallen manager Zeidler has got the team scoring on the road, with 18 away goals in 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For St. Gallen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Surprisingly enough, the last time St. Gallen kept a "clean sheet" was also meeting this opposition, 15 league games ago (Gallen - Zürich 2-0). Head to head numbers (for the last ten meetings): Zürich won three games, three matches ended with a draw and St. Gallen have four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two.
