Basel have performed here at St. Jakob-Park this season with 4 wins from 6 Super League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 0. Basel haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Grasshopper, 105 days ago.

3-3 away at Zurich before that.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

St. Gallen form and stats

St. Gallen have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-0-5 (6 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Gallen, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.

Impressive finishing from Ousmane Diakité and Thody Elie Youan secured the home win 3-1 against Young Boys in their previous game. Boubacar Traorè, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.41. Traorè served one assist, hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Chiasso (after extra-time) at their stadium, the result 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Gallen playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.

The visiting St. Gallen have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Gallen concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

This was the result when the contenders met earlier this season; St. Gallen - Basel 0-2. Head-to-head data (for the prior ten meetings): Basel won five games, two matches ended with a tie and St. Gallen have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
