The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. St. Gallen are in the 5th position while the guesting Luzern worry at 9th.
- St. Gallen have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Luzern has the most conceded goals in the first half (16) 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 Luzern.
St. Gallen form and stats
Overall Super League stats at home this season for St. Gallen are 3-2-4 (wins-draw-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for St. Gallen, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Gallen travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sion that ended 1-1. Before that, St. Gallen played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Servette.
Jordi Quintillà felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Sion as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 15th minute.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how St. Gallen have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost four.
St. Gallen are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Vaduz awaits in three days.
The St. Gallen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. On the other hand, St. Gallen have conceded 11 goals.
Luzern form and stats
There's been little loot from Luzern's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Super League. Luzern, who have the fewest points (6) away in Super League, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Luzern have lost on their last two travels.
The supporters enjoyed Luzern's previous game versus Vaduz (placed 10th), a Super League 4-0 win played at home. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Lugano.
As mentioned above, Luzern was the only team on the pitch versus Vaduz in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Luzern in our archives, and the results are: one win for Luzern, one draw and four defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Lugano.
Luzern are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 8 away games so far. For Luzern, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Luzern - St. Gallen 2-2. St. Gallen-Luzern H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Gallen two wins, Luzern seven wins, one draw. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
