St. Gallen
- St. Gallen are the in-form team having won three and drawn two of their last five matches in all competitions (L0).
- This approach is working well right now and St. Gallen are unbeaten in their last five matches.
- Enrico Maassen has done a fine job since taking over in July 2024 and his St. Gallen team are very adept at playing in a 4-2-3-1 system that can be fluidly converted into a 4-3-3 when in transition.
Sion
- Sion are the in-form side, however, winning four and drawing one of their last five (L0).
- Sion have won their last three away and beat FC Basel 2-0 in their most recent away Super League game.
- Didier Tholot has done an even better job since arriving at Sion in July 2023 and his side are a completely different kettle of fish to their opponents.
Head-to-Head
St. Gallen have won two and drawn two of the last five head-to-head encounters and have not lost in their last two home meetings with Sion , so the psychological edge looks to be with the hosts.
Key Players
- Lukas Goertler has been in fine form for the home side with three goals in St. Gallen’s last five games and should trouble Sion’s defense on Sunday.
- Chima Okoroji has scored one goal in one game in the Championship Group to top the home team’s scoring charts, while Josias Lukembila has one to his name for Sion, also from one game.
Betting Insights
- The odds reflect the visitors’ ability to make things difficult for the hosts and their price of 2.81 is too big given their current form and that of St. Gallen, who are 2.31.
- The Over 2.5 goals market looks oversubscribed at 1.6, so it must be avoided.
Prediction
We’re backing second-placed St. Gallen to grind out a close win against a solid and determined away side, but they’re on a run and Sion ’s away form tells us to keep the margin of victory thin.
