Pre-match info: 6 points are the diference between the teams so far, Basel having performed best. Can St. Gallen take the guests by surprise?
- St. Gallen have not yet lost a game at home.
- Basel have the most scored goals (17) in Super League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for St. Gallen and Basel.
St. Gallen form and stats
St. Gallen have played three Super League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The home fans are hungry for more even though St. Gallen have been steadily collecting points here at Kybunpark through three straight draws.
Happy days for Gallen in their previous game, a Swiss Cup match away at Chenois that ended with a 7-2 victory. As mentioned above, Gallen "killed" Chenois in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for F. Schubert when beating Chenois, applying the finishing touch to four goals!
Prior to that, an away loss at Servette in the Super League.The manager P. Zeidler will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Young Boys in only three days.
The St. Gallen manager P. Zeidler has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for St. Gallen with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
Basel form and stats
Basel are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). With three draws in a row for Basel the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
It's the second away game in a row for Basel, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Rorschach in the Swiss Cup last time out.
A 1-1 draw at Lugano's stadium before that.After this away game Basel return home for a Super League game against Zurich. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy Basel's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Basel have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Data for the previous ten meetings involving these two sides are: three wins for Gallen, three draws and four wins for Basel. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
