On May 29, Kybunpark (St. Gallen) will host the match of the 36th round of the Super League of Switzerland, in which St. Gallen will compete with Sion. The battle will start at 16:30 CET.
St. Gallen
The team has made some good progress in recent years. It is reasonable to mention the vice-championship-2020 and the finals of the Swiss Cup in the previous season and the last but one year. To tell the truth, those trials were not successful – “die Espen” lost the decisive fights for trophies; at the same time, the club took only a rather modest 5th place in the previous season. Moreover, there is even a greater decline now. It goes without saying that the state of things has not reached the level of a serious struggle for survival, because there is a clearly defined pair of outsiders. Everything is OK in recent matches. The victory in the battle against Basel stands apart, especially since the vice-champion was defeated with a devastating 6-1 score. That success was followed by a draw at the arena of Luzern. The team shared the points one more time – the previous round brought a battle against Grasshoppers, which resulted in a 2-2 equality.
Sion
The club even won the Swiss championship a couple of times. Nowadays, it has played more actively in the cup format – the trophy was won four times in 2006-2015, and a couple of years later it made the way to the final of the tournament. However, the positions were lost – “the Red and Whites” were only in the 7th place in the previous draw. To be honest, they can only dream of such a result nowadays. There are a lot of stars such as Ziegler, Cyprien, Sio and even Balotelli, but the real goal comes down to the struggle for the penultimate place with Winterthur – it gives an opportunity not to be relegated in a direct way. Still, there happened a home defeat made by Luzern. That 1-2 score motivates the team to somehow try to get more points than the competitor in the last round. Only a victory at the arena of St. Gallen will be a positive result.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Taking into account 4 previous matches, St. Gallen won three times and was defeated only once. There were the scores like 4-0 and even 7-2.
Predictions
Bookmakers do not believe in Sion, and it is unlikely that the players of this team are serious about success. The worst team must be defeated in the very end of the tournament at the home arena. Let’s believe that St. Gallen will succeed (odd: 1.69).
