St. Gallen vs Basel Prediction & Betting tips
The 32nd game of the Super League was entirely to the taste of the defending champion. The Young Boys clearly won 5-0 on Saturday against FC Zurich, who had just come out of quarantine. Since the previous leader St. Gallen lost to Thun somewhat unexpectedly, the reigning champion, as the table service of the betting base shows, now greets again from pole position.
Four game days before the end of the season, the championship race between YB and the Espen comes to a head. On the last day of the season, the two clubs even meet directly in Wankdorf. First of all, FC St. Gallen must forget the bankruptcy against Thun in their home game against Basel on Wednesday. For the Bebbi, however, the championship move is definitely down with eight points behind the top. The betting base believes that St. Gallen shows a reaction and so in the game St. Gallen vs. FC Basel recommend the tip on a home win at reasonable odds.
St. Gallen :
No matter how this season ends, FC St. Gallen is playing a sensational year. Between the 20th and the 31st matchday, the aspens greeted ten times from the top of the table. And even in the end of the season, the club from Eastern Switzerland can still win the championship for the first time since 2000.
It was only on Thursday that the green-whites regained Bern’s championship lead with a 4-1 home win against Lucerne. On Sunday, the first place after the 1: 2 bankruptcy in Thun was gone. Despite 16: 1 corners, the guests ended up losing the field. The German coach Peter Zeidler was however satisfied with the performance of his team.
They were prepared for setbacks. You will get up again. FC St. Gallen are now two points behind YB. In addition, the eastern Swiss have a much poorer goal difference. But the defending champion also had major problems recently, especially away. So St. Gallen can hope for the showdown on the last matchday in Berner Wankdorf.
Before the supposed championship final, the aspens have to play at FC Zurich and at home against Xamax after the game against Basel. With 30 points, the FCSG is the best away team in the first Swiss league. In the home table, the aspens are “only” in third place. With the game St. Gallen vs. FC Basel made it somewhat difficult to predict the hosts’ success.
Last week, the club set an example and extended the contracts with sports director Alain Sutter and coach Zeidler for an unusually long period until 2025. The hosts have to do without the injured Babic, Gonzalez, Ajeti, Costanzo and Lüchinger on Wednesday.
FC Basel :
Basically FC Basel wanted to be the big competitor of champions Bern in the fight for the championship this season. But the Bebbi only seem to play the third violin in Switzerland. With 2-2 on Sunday at Servette Geneva, Rotblau probably lost the last chances for the title.
With the 3: 2 home win on matchday 30 against the Young Boys, some hope was sprouted again in Basel. But since the restart, coach Marcel Koller’s men have had their problems, especially on foreign territory. Here you could only win one of five games against Neuchâtel Xamax. FCB already suffered ten losses this season, seven of them on the opponent’s place.
In 16 guest appearances there were only six wins. So before the game St. Gallen vs. FC Basel the tip on a success of the guests probably makes little sense. But Basel still have an iron in the fire with the Europa League. Here in August after the 3-0 in the first knockout round first leg against Frankfurt, you have a good chance of winning the round of eight.
The rumors that FCB President Bernhard Burgener wants to sell 20 to 30 percent of the shares to the English company “Centricus” have caused additional unrest in the last few days. Goal keeper Arthur Cabral misses the game in Kybunpark after his yellow-red card against Geneva. In addition, the injured Zuffi, Petretta and Riveros are missing.
