St. Gallen defeated Thun 2-0 in their last league match, finally ending a three-match winless streak across all competitions. Currently, St. Gallen sits second in the standings with a record of 10 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. In terms of statistics, St. Gallen has scored 33 goals and conceded 20, making them the second-highest scoring team in the league and one of the teams with the fewest goals conceded. Their performance on both ends is quite impressive. However, it’s worth noting that St. Gallen’s home performance has not been strong and is quite erratic, as they have a record of 5 wins and 4 losses in their nine home matches, with a win rate of only 55%, which is even lower than their away form.
Sion, on the other hand, won 1-0 at home against Grasshopper in their last league match, extending their unbeaten run to six matches and achieving three consecutive victories, showcasing a solid form. Currently, Sion sits fifth in the standings with a record of 7 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses. Statistically, Sion has scored 26 goals and conceded 20 so far in the league. While their attacking firepower may appear mediocre, they excel defensively, ranking among the league’s best in defensive statistics. Additionally, Sion’s away performance has been quite impressive, with a record of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their eight away games, resulting in an unbeaten rate of 87%.
Although St. Gallen has a slightly better overall strength and league ranking than Sion, Sion has been performing noticeably better in recent matches. In their last five encounters, each team has won once, with the remaining three matches ending in draws, indicating a balanced historical rivalry. Considering St. Gallen’s inconsistent home performance, it would be reasonable to expect the strong-performing Sion to secure points in this match.
