Servette form and stats

The story so far in the Super League for Servette at their home stadium (Stade de Genève) is 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat.

Servette's last game was hosting Luzern (placed 9th) and winning 4-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Luzern (0-3).

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

This is expected to be a close game, with Servette perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Servette as a small favourite), we find five games. Servette has won zero of these, drawn two and lost three.

There will be little rest for Servette after this match as they are travelling to Lausanne Sport for a Super League game in only three days.

Servette has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Servette's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

St. Gallen form and stats

3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of St. Gallen playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Gallen as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Vaduz match.

Gallen lost away at Sion (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 2-3 loss hosting Zurich before that.

It's a bit worrying for Gallen that their goalkeeper Lawrence Ati made six saves in the Sion game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Gallen in the Sion match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

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 six relevant matches. Results were three Gallen wins, two draws and one defeat.

St. Gallen are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result St. Gallen - Servette 1-0 entered in the official records. Servette-St. Gallen H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Servette zero wins, St. Gallen eight wins, two draws. five of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
