St. Gallen vs FC Thun Preview
St. Gallen return home after an impressive 2-1 away win over Lugano and will look to build on that result when they face FC Thun in the Swiss Super League.
The hosts have produced several strong displays recently, while Thun travel into this fixture after suffering four defeats from their last five league outings.
St. Gallen Showing Greater Attacking Sharpness In Recent League Fixtures
Although St. Gallen were beaten 3-0 at home by FC Sion earlier this month, they responded well with a 2-1 victory against Lugano away from home. Before that, they secured another excellent away success by defeating Young Boys 2-1.
Their home performances have also included encouraging attacking displays. St. Gallen beat FC Zurich 2-1, Basel 3-0, and Winterthur 2-1 across recent matches at this stadium. Those results underline the attacking quality they can produce in front of their own supporters.
FC Thun Struggling To Contain Opponents During Difficult Recent Stretch
Thun continue to find life difficult after losing 2-0 at FC Sion and 3-1 at Basel in consecutive matches. They also suffered narrow defeats against Lugano and FC Zurich during the same spell.
Away form remains a major concern for the visitors. Thun failed to score in defeats at Lugano and Sion, while they conceded three goals against Basel. Their only recent positive away result came in a 2-1 victory over Young Boys back in March.
St. Gallen vs FC Thun Prediction
St. Gallen to win looks a great deal considering the difference in recent form between both sides. The hosts have already beaten stronger opponents recently, while Thun continue leaking goals too frequently away from home.
Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score also stands out because neither defence has looked completely reliable lately. Recent meetings and current form patterns both suggest chances should arrive at both ends throughout the game.
A 2-1 victory for St. Gallen appears a sensible correct-score prediction. Thun may contribute offensively at some stage, but the hosts should carry greater threat over ninety minutes.
