St. Gallen vs Sion: Prediction and odds on the Match on 21 April 2025

We are back to AFG Park where St. Gallen will be at home to welcome Sion in round 33 of the Swiss Super League. The two teams are coming off a league game which could only end in a draw. However, with both teams' chances of making it to the Championship Group now over, how will they approach this game? I will do a full match preview in the following sections while making betting opportunities available. 

St. Gallen: Form and Statistics

St. Gallen have had a rollercoaster of seasons and they now have to accept the reality. Earlier this season, this side was part of the sides fighting for title win, and now, a place in the championship group is mathematically over which is not what head coach, Enrico Maaßen will not be happy for. However, the positivity in this one is the fact that this side has zero possibility of being relegated looking at the number of points accumulated already. 

Last weekend, this team travelled to Lugano and could only take a point at the Stadio di Cornaredo, in a 1-1 encounter. In that game, Enrico Maaßen's team needed a 64th minute Willem Geubbels strike to overturn their deficit having gone behind six minutes earlier. 

Ahead of this game, St. Gallen have accumulated 44 points from their 32 league contests this season. In the standings, Enrico Maaßen’s team sit 8th spot, scoring 45 goals with 43 conceded.

St. Gallen Lineup

After their last weekend game, St. Gallen coach, Enrico will have five injury list to deal with. In this game, Ignacio Aliseda, and Mohamed Belhadj will still be missing for this side, as Mattia Bottani, Hicham Mahou, Milton Valenzuela still also sidelined for match week 33.

Sion: Form and Statistics

Sion will hope they can finally secure a league win after a number of unlucky results and inconsistent plays. In 2022 this team was one of the toughest sides, going head to head with top sides and securing crucial wins. Also, Didier Tholot's side started this season on a good level, but then struggled to keep up with their level. In their last league matches, Sion could only pick up one win, coming against Lugano in a 2-1 contest at home. However, this team has played weaker sides after those positive results, but could only settle for a draw with Yverdon, while losing to Winterthur. 

Last weekend, Sion hosted Servette and they did well to hold the league chasing side to a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, Numa Lavanchy strike was enough to see them take a point at full time. Ahead of this game, Sion have accumulated 36 points from 32 matches which position them 9th place. In 32 matches played, Didier Tholot’s team has scored 41 goals while conceding 50 in the same span. 

Sion Lineup

Didier Tholot has few injuries to manage with Gora Diouf, Kevin Bua, and Pierrick Moulin remaining unfit to travel with the squad to Gallen. However, after his second yellow card against Servette last weekend, Noe Sow will also be missing this game. 

🔖 Sion’s’ Predicted XI (4-3-3): 

Timothy Fayulu, Numa Lavanchy, Kreshnik Hajrizi, Nias Hefti, Federico Barba, Baltazar, Ali Kabacalman, Liam Chipperfield, Anton Miranchuk, Benjamin Kololli, Ylyas Chouaref. 

⛔️Unavailable: Noe Sow (red card), Gora Diouf, Kevin Bua, Pierrick Moulin Valenzuela (all injured)

💰 St. Gallen vs Sion Match Prediction 21 April 2025

These are two teams with a lot of ups and downs and with the season drawing to an end, there is a need for them to stand firm. With a long history which has favoured St. Gallen, the visiting Sion team will have more work to do if they want to avoid a defeat here. Yet, I feel this is an open game as both teams could do well to exploit their defensive weakness. Expect a win for St. Gallen as they have a good home record, while we should witness goals. 

Our match prediction is a win for St. Gallen with odds at 1.91 on Betway bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is both teams to score and over 2.5 goals with odds at 2.04 on 1Xbet bookmaker.
