St. Gallen form and stats

St. Gallen have played 12 Super League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for St. Gallen bring valid hopes of a third.

The St. Gallen manager Zeidler and his gang return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Basel (placed 3rd). The striker Duah was named "man of the match" for St. Gallen with a rating of 8.31/10. Duah scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 22 successful passes (of 25 total).

Ahead of that match, Gallen won a home game hosting Grasshopper (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how St. Gallen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn five and lost two.

St. Gallen have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kybunpark with 22 goals in 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.

A 1-3 defeat away at Young Boys before that.

Sion are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, five draws and five defeats. From a total of ten matches.

Sion have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Sion concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
