Basel were dealt a third loss in four games in the Swiss Super League last weekend as the upcoming hosts slumped to a heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Young Boys and although Stephan Lichsteiner’s side hold home advantage on Thursday night, this certainly holds no guarantees.
Recent losses at the hands of Thun, Sion and aforementioned Young Boys have resulted in Basel sitting in 5th place out of six teams in the Super League Championship Round table and now being seven points behind 3rd placed Lugano and the European spots, there’s nothing left for the hosts to play for but pride.
Just one win from their last five matches in the Swiss top flight suggests Basel may have subconsciously checked out this season.
St Gallen by contrast will be highly motivated in their pursuit of a positive result at St Jakob-Park on Thursday night as the visitors look to seal a spot in next seasons Europa Conference League qualifiers as they occupy 2nd place with just two games remaining of the season.
Recent wins gained over the likes of Zurich, Young Boys and last weekend’s 2-1 win away from home at Lugano will no doubt give Enrico Maasen’s side plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming trip to St Jakob-Park as the visitors look to fend off competition from Lugano and Sion for the runners-up spot behind Thun.
With just one loss suffered in their last 16 matches overall in the Super League, St Gallen look to have a decent chance of not only achieving a positive result on Thursday but also nailing down a 2nd place finish.
The Betting Verdict
St Gallen are unbeaten in their last six meetings against Basel.
The Pick :
Basel 1-2 St Gallen
