Match preview: St. Gallen and Basel

St. Gallen and Basel will clash at Kybunpark in the first round of the Super League. Historical matchups at this venue favour the home side, who have won 3, drawn 5, and lost 2 of their last 10 encounters here. However, their last meeting at this ground ended in a 2-2 draw on 22 February 2025, with goals from Willem Geubbels and Christian Witzig for St. Gallen, and Leo Leroy and Yannick Noah (own goal) for Basel. It’s crucial to consider the home/away performance, as St. Gallen has varied results when playing at home compared to away.

Team analysis: St. Gallen

This marks St. Gallen’s first match of the current league edition, after finishing 2nd last season. They perform significantly better at home, boasting a record of 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses on home soil, contrasted with 2 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses away. Their previous match ended in a thrilling home draw against Brühl, finishing 4-4. In their past 10 home outings across competitions, they have won 6, drawn 2, and lost 2. While their defence has struggled, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, their attack has been relentless, scoring in 9 of those games. Notably, out of 15 games, they failed to recover from a losing position in the 6 matches where they conceded first.

St. Gallen narrowly missed out on the chance to qualify for the championship group last season, finishing 2nd in the relegation group just behind Zürich. With 8th place overall, they achieved an equal number of wins and draws (13 each), but had a negative goal difference (-1). This season, they aspire to achieve a top 6 finish, beginning with a challenging opener against defending champions Basel, with whom they previously drew 2-2.

Team analysis: Basel

This will be Basel’s first match of the season, after claiming the title last year. They are less affected by playing at home, showing similar results regardless of venue. In their last 30 matches, they secured 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses away, scoring 37 goals and conceding 24. At home, they finished with 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, netting 37 times and conceding 12. Their latest match saw them triumph in the Schweizer Pokal against Biel-Bienne with a score of 4-1. In their last 10 away games, they have 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Basel’s attack has been consistently strong, scoring in every one of the last 10 outings. Additionally, there has been a tendency for high-scoring games, with 19 out of their last 22 matches featuring over 1.5 goals, and 15 matches surpassing 2.5 goals. In 15 games, they conceded the first goal 4 times but managed to come from behind in 3 of these instances. A noteworthy trend is that 12 of the 27 goals they conceded in their last 20 away matches were during the final minutes (76’–90′).

This past season saw Basel reclaim the championship title after a lengthy 6-year drought, with their last victory dating back to the 2016-2017 season, when they enjoyed a remarkable run of 8 consecutive titles in the Swiss Super League. Finishing 10 points clear of Servette in 2nd place last season, Basel demonstrated consistency and quality throughout, establishing themselves as the top team. As the new season begins, they carry the burden of higher expectations and pressure, which will be pivotal in shaping their performance.
