Club members at Kybunpark haven’t witnessed many victories this season, with St. Gallen struggling in the 8th position. The opposing Grasshopper will try to protect their higher league place in this match.
- St. Gallen have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Super League
- Grasshopper have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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
St. Gallen have played 7 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Gallen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Sion. The forward Thody Elie Youan was declared "man of the match" for Gallen with the rating of 7.45/10. Youan scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 26 successful passes (of 31 total).
Before that game, the home loss against Lausanne Sport with the scoreline 0-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Gallen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Gallen as a small favourite), we find six games. St. Gallen has won one of these, drawn one and lost four.
A decent goal production from St. Gallen in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. Gallen have conceded 11 from these games.
Grasshopper form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Grasshopper so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
Grasshopper failed to get anything from their last game, a Super League home match vs Lugano (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 0-1. Midfield player Djibril Diani was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Diani dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Servette wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Grasshopper playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Grasshopper wins, one draw and three defeats.
Grasshopper are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Grasshopper's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
