The Basel & St. Gallen managers C. Sforza and P. Zeidler are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Super League league table.
- Basel has the most scored goals in the first half (11) in Super League
- St. Gallen has the fewest scored goals in the second half (5) in Super League
It's no vacation for neither Basel nor St. Gallen as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Basel form and stats
Basel, who have the most scored goals (12) at home in Super League, are steadily winning Super League games and points here at St. Jakob-Park. 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 6 games.
The Basel crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Young Boys here at St. Jakob-Park in a Super League match. Before that match, a win away at Vaduz.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Basel have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won four times, drawn one and lost one.
The manager C. Sforza will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Luzern in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (12 in 6 games), Basel's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
St. Gallen form and stats
The visitors are W3-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Gallen, as they have won on their previous two travels.
St. Gallen have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi. It's been 242 minutes since they last conceded in Super League.
Gallen's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Lugano that finished 0-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Lausanne Sport.
We have checked recent matches where St. Gallen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were four victories, three draws and five defeats.
After this away game Gallen return home for a Super League game against Young Boys. That game is only three sleeps after this.
St. Gallen have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. Gallen are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
