The hosts won their first Super League game here at Kybunpark, lifting spirits. Home statistics for St. Gallen last season were 7 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses from 18 games.

St. Gallen's last game was hosting Winterthur (placed 8th) and winning 2-0. Midfielder Schubert was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.23 (out of ten) in that game. Schubert scored two goals and hit one key pass.

Before that, Gallen had a home game versus Lausanne Sport which ended with a victory 4-0.

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 14 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 6 and lost 3.

Zürich form and stats

Zürich have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Super League were 11 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats from 18 fixtures.

Zürich have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 243 minutes ago. Ceesay was the goal scorer.

Zürich delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Qarabag in their previous game; a Champions League fixture.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Luzern in the Super League.

We have checked recent matches where Zürich have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 16 games were 6 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Zürich manager Foda as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Linfield.

It's early days yet, but Zürich has scored 0 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): St. Gallen three wins, three draws and Zürich four victories. As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
