St. Gallen vs Thun Prediction & Betting tips
After the Europa League match on Thursday, FC St. Gallen is back in action. In the third round of the Super League, the eastern Swiss receive the FC Thun. Both teams have each won a game of the season and lost one. Last weekend, the Thuners scored against Lucerne – thanks to two goals within five minutes in the second half. The bookmakers favor none of the two teams in the game in Kybunpark. When betting on the home team to get odds around the 2.5 range and also in case of a tip on the FC Thun betting odds are offered in this area. In the past season, the balance was 3: 1 in favor of the Eastern Swiss. Only in the fourth and final meeting in the 2017/18 season, the Bernese Oberland won against the aspens.
St. Gallen:
For FC St. Gallen, it has the start of the new season in itself. In two weeks, the aspens already complete the fifth game. In comparison, the other Super League teams without European games only contest the third game. Since it was extremely hot in Europe in the last few days and is also expected on Sunday in St. Gallen over 30 degrees, fitness could be a rash. Under the new leadership of Peter Zeidler, the St. Gallen are doing well. With the exception of the last match in the Europa League, the eastern Swiss have scored at least two goals in each game. Since in three of the four games the defense allowed only one goal, the season opener may well be titled as successful. In the home game against FC Sion, the defensive weakness but was apparent. Four goals came from the defense to defender Milan Vilotic and youngster Silvan Hefti. However, the 20-year-old impressed with his offensive qualities – scoring a goal against Sion and Sarpsborg. In the much older Vilotic you can feel the lack of match practice last season. The Serb is often a step too late, apparently also that he has received a card in each game so far. Also against the Thun the defensive will not remain without problems and concede a goal.
Thun:
FC Thun can skilfully hide behind its big brother from the canton of Bern. YB gets all the laurels, but also all the pressure from the public. At the gateway to the Alps, the Thuners could optimally prepare for the new season, which was also sorely needed – after all, the Bernese Oberland in the past season almost rose to the second league. In the numerous test matches against especially unterklassige teams achieved the Thuner good results. The start in the Super League failed the tuners in Zurich but. This was certainly also due to the performance of the Bernese Oberland, but FC Zurich was simply too strong that day! The performance in the first half against FC Lucerne, however, was clearly the fault of the team of Marc Schneider. Goalkeeper Faivre did not look good at Rodriguez’s 1-0 win. The 31-year-old made his mark quite often last season and was put on the bench by the coach. Only thanks to the offensive power in the second half of the FC Thun turned the game from last weekend still and secured the first points in the new season.
For the upcoming game, the performance should vote in the first half. The offensive strength of the St. Gallen will exploit every trick of the Thun defense and a new catching up Thun will cost a lot of strength.
