Young Boys (Home)
- Young Boys are on a 5-game unbeaten streak, winning 3 and tying 2.
- But they're going up against a YB side who are in even better form than the Espen, going unbeaten in their last 5 with 3 wins and 2 ties, and sitting second in the table with 22 points from 10 games - a title-chasing pace.
- Die Gelb-Schwarzen's league record of three wins and two draws from five home Super League 2026/2027 games should see them through as they are a fortress and have St. Gallen's measure from the last two meetings, which they won.
St. Gallen (Away)
- Enrico Maassen's side will arrive at the Wankdorfstadion on Saturday with some confidence as they have won their last 2, edging out Lausanne-Sports 1-0 before beating FC Rapperswil Jona 2-0 in the Swiss Cup.
- St. Gallen have scored nine goals in five away Super League 2026/2027 matches, so they are more than capable of making their presence felt on Saturday's trip.
- St. Gallen have won 2 of their last 3 trips to Young Boys.
Head-to-Head
