Historically, St. Gallen hold the advantage in this matchup. Across 75 official meetings the balance reads St. Gallen 36 wins, Sion 26 wins and 13 draws. In recent fixtures St. Gallen have enjoyed a slightly better run: in the last ten head-to-head meetings they have recorded five wins, lost twice and drawn three times.
FC St. Gallen team overview
St. Gallen have been one of the league’s most efficient sides to date. After 16 league matches they sit second in the table with 33 goals scored and 20 conceded, maintaining a positive goal difference and an above-average points-per-game rate. Home form has been less consistent: St. Gallen have lost four of nine matches at the Kybunpark, yet they still rank second in the table for home points (15). Their league form has dipped slightly in recent weeks - one win (against Thun), a defeat to Zürich in the previous round and a 0–0 draw away at Basel a fortnight ago.
Manager Enrico Maassen reportedly has a full-strength squad available; midfielder Carlo Boukhalfa and forward Alessandro Vogt have each contributed eight goals, combining for nearly half of the team’s total this season.

FC Sion team overview
Sion occupy a top-five position and are characterised by a high draw ratio - they share the joint-most draws (6) in the division alongside Luzern - with several of their 15 matches ending level. Offensively they have scored fewer goals than St. Gallen but compensate with organised defensive blocks and a pragmatic approach to picking up points. Recent form is encouraging: Sion are unbeaten in five successive Super League matches (W2 D3), collecting nine points from a possible 15, and are closing the gap on the sides in the top three. They have also secured back-to-back home wins in recent fixtures, a trend manager Didier Tholot will welcome.
No serious injuries have been reported ahead of this game, and Rilind Nivokazi leads Sion’s attack this season with eight goals.

Prediction
Given the combination of home advantage, stronger attacking numbers and a higher conversion rate, St. Gallen should be regarded as slight favourites. However, Sion’s five-match unbeaten run (W2 D3) gives them momentum and confidence; the visitors have lost only once away this season (W3 D4 L1) and possess the defensive structure to frustrate the hosts. The most prudent forecast is a narrow St. Gallen victory or a draw - alternatively, backing Sion not to lose (double chance) is a reasonable, value-oriented option.
Prediction: FC Sion not to lose (double chance x2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x2
- FC Sion are undefeated in five successive Swiss Super League matches (W2 D3).
- FC Sion have collected three consecutive wins across all competitions - league and cup - in recent weeks.
- FC St. Gallen have failed to win two of their last three Swiss Super League matches (W1 D1 L1).
