St. Gallen
- St. Gallen are sitting 2nd in the Super League 2025 - 2026 table with 37 points after 19 matches.
- FC St. Gallen’s form and confidence are sky high going into this matchup, with a high-energy pressing style and depth in attack providing the perfect balance for manager Enrico Maaßen to deliver consistent results.
- St. Gallen have won their last three Super League matches and beat Anderlecht in a recent friendly.
Servette
- Servette Geneve FC, by contrast, are languishing in 10th position on 20 - 21 points from 18 - 20 Super League fixtures and appear to lack the quality to challenge the top teams in Switzerland this season.
- Jocelyn Gourvennec, who was appointed as Servette’s manager in August 2025, has attempted to develop a possession-based approach and build-up to the attack in Geneva.
- Servette have had moments of fluidity under Gourvennec, but the team is yet to show consistent enough defensive stability to challenge higher up the table.
Key Players
- A high-energy press allows St. Gallen to compress the field and turn Servette’s patient possession players into turnovers in front of their own goal, where Alessandro Vogt, St. Gallen’s top scorer, and youngster Tom Gaal have been profiting in recent fixtures.
- Gaal’s emergence, coupled with the pace and power of Aliou Baldé - who provided the crucial goals during St. Gallen’s December three-match winning streak, adds another dimension to St. Gallen’s attack and offers Maaßen a few different tactical variations to employ against Servette on Sunday.
- Florian Ayé is Servette’s most prolific player, registering 8 - 9 goals by January, and is their most obvious goal threat.
- Jérémy Guillemenot and Samuel Mráz provide additional attacking options and have contributed goals and strong performances off the bench.
