The league table in Super League tells a story about these teams so far, with Young Boys leading St. Gallen by 27 points. Match preview to follow:
- Young Boys have the most scored goals (51) in Super League
- St. Gallen have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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 Young and St. Gallen.
Young's stadium, Stadion Wankdorf, has a artifical turf surface. St. Gallen have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for St. Gallen when playing on artifical turf; 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from nine matches. They have scored 14 goals in these games and conceded 12.
Young Boys form and stats
30 points is a decent return from 13 Super League games here at Stadion Wankdorf for Young Boys. The data says 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. Young Boys has a nice streak going on as they have played 17 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Servette defeat 118 days ago.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Young, as their goalkeeper David von Ballmoos has completely shut out the opponents for 196 minutes in the Super League.
Young are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus St. Gallen. Before that match, a Super League win away at Sion.
A decent goal production from Young in their home games so far, with 24 goals from 13 league matches. Young have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
St. Gallen form and stats
The visitors are W3-D5-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Super League. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Gallen's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Impressive finishing from C. Adamu, Víctor Ruiz, J. Guillemenot and K. Duah secured the home win 4-1 against Young Boys in their previous game. A draw for Gallen before that, at their own venue hosting Zurich (1-1).
Gallen has another fixture away, a Swiss Cup game, against Grasshopper in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Gallen find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Gallen have conceded 20 goals on the road.
