Thun vs St. Gallen Prediction & Betting tips
The super meltdown in the Swiss Super League was averted for the time being and this weekend the 32nd game day is now on the program. It will open on Saturday evening with FC Zurich’s quarantine kickers against the Young Boys. The reigning champions could thus climb the top of the table again, because Sankt Gallen will only be in action on Sunday. The duel between Thun and St. Gallen is on the agenda in the Bernese Oberland.
The Schneider team from Thun can be found in eighth place in the current Super League table and is only one point ahead of the Barrage rank. The situation is accordingly precarious and points are urgently needed. With the aspens from Eastern Switzerland, however, the league leader is guest on the artificial turf in the Stockhorn Arena.
Given the initial situation, it is not surprising that the best bookmakers see the guests as clear favorites. The game starts on Sunday afternoon at 15:00 p.m.
Thun:
For long stretches of the season, Thun adorned the bottom of the Super League table, and yet the club leadership remained calm and never questioned long-term coach Marc Schneider. A decision that turned out to be the right one, because Thun has now left the bottom of the table.
With five laps to go, the team from the Bernese Oberland is now in eighth place and is five points ahead of Xamax Neuchatel. Last Sunday, a direct duel was a sovereign 3-0 win, which was a great relief.
The direct relegation to the Challenge League moved into the distance, but the barrage still threatens. Sion, the club from Valais, has only one point less and also a catch-up game in the back. Accordingly, the situation remains precarious and the FCT is far from being saved.
A clear pattern can be seen since the restart in the Swiss Super League. As a rule, bets on home win are recommended for games involving FC Thun. The hosts prevailed in the first six games. This series was only stopped during the week when Thun made a 1-1 draw at Lugano. In the end, even a little disappointing, because it was only in the final minute that Thun conceded the equalizer.
Nonetheless, the recent home record gives hope. Three home wins came in a row and, among other things, local rival Young Boys was brought to his knees.
St. Gallen :
The master dream is becoming more and more realistic. Only five games separate Peter Zeidler’s Espen from the really big coup and the third championship in club history. The lead over the Young Boys is minimal with only one point. Above all, Sankt Gallen has a poor goal difference of six goals. Any falling over could mean the end of the master dream.
Eight games have been played in Switzerland since the restart and the leader of the table looks back on a 5-2-1 record. The slip against FC Zurich (0: 4) was a big surprise, but did not throw the club off the track. The FCSG has been without defeat for six games.
During the week, the aspens against fear opponents from Lucerne (previously only a win in 14 games) delivered a true gala performance. The game was already decided when changing sides given the 3-0 lead. In the end, Sankt Gallen won 4: 1 and acted extremely hard and very confident.
With a similar performance, the winner on Sunday can only be called Sankt Gallen. In addition, the twelve-time goal scorer Ermedin Demirovic returns after having survived the yellow-red suspension.
Regardless of whether the aspens actually climb the throne of Swiss football on August 3 or not, the future prospects in Eastern Switzerland can undoubtedly be rated as extremely positive. Before the 4-1 victory against FC Luzern on Thursday evening, the contract extensions of successful coach Peter Zeidler (until 2025!) And sports director Alain Sutter were announced.
The German Zeidler in particular was repeatedly associated with his homeland. However, his new working paper does not even have an exit clause for the Bundesliga.
