St. Gallen vs Basel Prediction: Visiting Basel will not lose

The AFG Arena will serve as the host venue for this Swiss Super League encounter between St. Gallen and Basel, which is part of round 33 of the competition. While the team that is now playing at home have not tasted victory in their most recent matches, Basel are coming off a victory against Florentina in the Europa Conference League.

After suffering a setback against Young Boys by a score of 0-2 in their most recent Super League match, St. Gallen will be hoping for a better outcome in this match. During that game, St. Gallen had a 50% possession rate and 17 shots on goal, with only four of those shots hitting the target. On the other side of the field, Young Boys Bern had 14 shots on goal, with five of them finding their mark. Cedric Itten scored for Young Boys in the 53rd minute, and Jean-Pierre Nsame scored in the 83rd minute. In recent years, St. Gallen has not been able to go long stretches without allowing an opponent to score. The fact of the matter is that St. Gallen's defense has been penetrated in six of their most recent six matches, resulting in ten goals being conceded during this stretch of play.

Basel enter this encounter on the heels of a victory in their most recent match, which was a Conference League match against Fiorentina that they won 1-2. Andy Diouf in the 71st minute and Zeki Amdouni in the 93rd minute were the ones that scored for FC Basel 1893. In the 25th minute, Arthur Cabral scored the goal for Fiorentina. Basel have allowed their opponents to score in each of their last six matches, for a total of eight goals scored against them in those contests. Coming into this match, Basel have not been defeated by St. Gallen in any of the three league matches that have taken place away from their home venue in the most recent season.

St. Gallen and Basel have competed 65 times in previous seasons, with Basel coming out on top in 36 of those contests and St. Gallen taking home 14 of those victories. There were a total of 15 games that were decided by a draw. The head-to-head matchups between St. Gallen and Basel resulted in 76 goals for St. Gallen, while Basel scored 138 goals.

The results that St. Gallen have achieved in the games leading up to this one are nothing more than a huge stroke of poor fortune, and we have no idea how well they will be motivated to perform today. On the other side, we are anticipating that Basel will once again be a formidable opponent, just as they were when they competed against Florentina. As a direct consequence of this, we forecast that the away team will rack up two goals during the course of this match.
