Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Chênois & St. Gallen face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Swiss Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both squads have had enough days rest since their last effort on the pitch. Let's hope for an animated game!
Chênois form and stats
Chênois have not come this way in the Swiss Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Grand-Saconnex. Last season, Chênois's Swiss Cup journey ended in the qualification 2.liga - 2nd round.The Chênois manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The Chênois fans got no joy from their last match, a 1.Liga Classic game also here at Stade des Trois-Chênes: A 1-2 defeat against Bulle.
Before that game, the home loss against Meyrin with the scoreline 1-2.St. Gallen form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Munsingen in order to reach 2nd round of Swiss Cup. They also participated in Swiss Cup last season. This ended in the final.Things could have gone better for St. Gallen in their Super League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. St. Gallen has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from Gallen as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Super League match against Servette (1-5). Thody Elie Youan got a match rating of 6.85 in that game, top player of the team. Youan scored one goal. Gallen lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Sion in the Super League.After this away game Gallen return home for a Super League game against Basel. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Gallen have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Gallen concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
