Thun form and stats

With 2 Super League wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Thun, who have the most conceded goals (46) in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Luzern in the Super League last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Basel and winning 1-0.

The Thun fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 12 matches. Thun have conceded 25 goals in these home games, a significant number.

St. Gallen form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (51) in Super League, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 1 draw and only 3 losses in the Super League.

There were no winners in St. Gallen's previous match, a Super League home game that ended 3-3 vs Young Boys (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs Young Boys.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Young Boys was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
