Sion vs St. Gallen: Prediction and odds on the Match on 13 May 2025

We are back to Stade Tourbillon where Sion will take on St. Gallen in round three of the Swiss Super League playoff rounds. In this fixture, Sion will continue their bid to avoid relegation, while St. Gallen will be confident to end their recent winless performances. How will this game unfold? Let’s get straight into the previews of this game and offer best betting options.  

Sion: Form and Statistics

Sion continues their battle against relegation and this team will hope to get the best result in this encounter. The previous time out, Sion were on the road against Yvderdon, and they could only take a point, thanks to Theo Bouchlarhem strike that saw them level the score after going behind before the break. Ahead of this game, Sion have 40 points and sit five points clear of relegation sides. 

Sion Lineup

First choice central defender, Kreshnik Hajrizi is expected to be back to the first eleven after missing the weekend game against Yverdon due to accumulated yellow cards. However, Benjamin Kololli, Liam Chipperfield, and Kevin Bua are still out, having not gotten the greenlight from the medical team. 

🔖 Sion Expected Lineup

Timothy Fayulu (GK), Numa Lavanchy, Kreshnik Hajrizi, Noe Sow, Federico Barba Midfielders, Theo Berdayes, Baltazar, Ali Kabacalman, Anton Miranchuk, Ylyas Chouaref, Dejan Sorgic

St. Gallen: Form and Statistics

St. Gallen have not had things easy in the playoff, and despite having made it out of relegation, they will hope to get things right here. The previous time out, this team took on Winterthur and this team suffered a disappointing defeat at home. In that encounter, Lukas Daschner's strike in the 21st minute put this team ahead before they conceded four times in the remaining minutes of the game, two in each half. While they also started their playoff with a draw with Yverdon away from home, St. Gallen now have only one win in their last four league matches. 

St. Gallen Lineup

Jozo Stanic and Lukas Gortler picked up injuries in the weekend game against Winterthur and will be a big miss for Enrico Maaßen’s side. However, Albert Vallci is expected to be available for this side and could make the first eleven after serving his game ban. Musah Nuhu, Betim Fazliji, Abdoulaye Diaby, and Pascal Buttiker, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

🔖 St. Gallen Expected Lineup

Lawrence Ati Zigi (GK), Albert Vallci, Stephan Ambrosius, Cyrill May Midfielders, Kevin Csoboth, Lukas Daschner, Mihailo Stevanovic, Chima Okoroji, Christian Witzig, Willem Geubbels, Corsin Konietzke

Sion vs St. Gallen Prediction 13 May 2025

St. Gallen are just struggling to get things right and will have to display competitiveness in this fixture. While looking at how they approached their last league game, it is clear their major problem is defense, having now conceded in three of their last four encounters. On the other hand, despite a win over Zurich in this venue for the home side in their opener in this playoff, their performance against Yverdon was not impressive and will need to do better here. This is a tough game to predict and the two teams need to be at their best to win here. In terms of the side that needs this game the most, it is clear Sion will have to do the most work, as relegation threatens, while the bookies do not see them as favourites. Away from home, I doubt if St. Gallen can keep a clean sheet, but I am confident they will take maximum points this time.
