St Gallen

LLLDLW

St Gallen come into this match following a 6-1 Super League win vs FC Basel 1893 in their most recent match.

In that match, St Gallen managed 54% possession and 23 shots at goal with 13 of them on target. For St Gallen, goals were scored by Jérémy Guillemenot (22'), Lukas Görtler (24'), Jordi Quintillà (36'), Emmanuel Latte Lath (52', 63') and Willem Geubbels (91'). On the other side, Basel got 8 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Andi Zeqiri (54') was the scorer for FC Basel 1893.

Proving their involvement in fruitful encounters, goals have been celebrated 20 times in the previous six games in which St Gallen have sent out their troops, yielding a mean average of 3.33 goals each fixture. Their opponents have got 10 of these goals. That pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, of course.

Pre-game facts show that St Gallen:

• have not registered a win against FC Luzern when having played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. Not good at all.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 5 league matches.
