It's still early in the Super League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the St. Gallen - Basel preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
St. Gallen form and stats
Perfect Super League season at home so far for St. Gallen 2 wins from 2 appearances.
The fans are hoping that Gallen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super League game against Lugano (placed 2nd). 2-2 away at Luzern before that.
Early season league goal statistics from St. Gallen's 2 home games: 2 goals, 0 conceded.
Basel form and stats
Basel have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Super League were 7 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 18 fixtures.
Basel had fun at their own home (Kybunpark) last time out, beating Luzern 3-2. Arthur Cabral, Edon Zhegrova and Valentin Stocker scored. A loss against CSKA Sofia was the result prior to that, in a Europa League home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Basel manager C. Sforza as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Zurich.
It's early days yet, but Basel has scored 0 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Gallen, two draws and four wins for Basel. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.St. Gallen missing players
