Thun team overview
FC Thun head into this high-stakes Matchday 28 clash as runaway leaders of the Swiss Super League, boasting an impressive haul of 21 wins from 27 league outings, a remarkable feat for a side returning to the top flight.
Mauro Lustrinelli’s high-flying outfit are currently riding a phenomenal 10-match winning streak, a run that has seen them open up an almost unassailable 14-point gap at the summit over their nearest title challengers.
Maintaining their commanding position atop the table and extending their winning streak looks achievable for the Oberlanders as they return to the Stockhorn Arena, which has become a genuine fortress for them, with five consecutive home victories yielding 16 goals in front of their passionate supporters.
Despite contending with an injury list that includes key figures such as Nino Ziswiler and Vasilije Janjicic, Thun’s squad depth remains their greatest asset, as they continue to average an impressive 2.3 goals per game this term.

St Gallen team overview
Meanwhile, St. Gallen enter this top-of-the-table clash as the most credible challengers to the league leaders, currently sitting comfortably in second place with 50 points, driven by the ambition to keep the title race alive.
Under the guidance of Enrico Maassen, the side boasts an impressive unbeaten streak spanning eight matches across all competitions, highlighted by a hard-fought 2-1 home victory over Winterthur, demonstrating their ability to secure results even when not at their best.
Crucially, the visitors have proven to be a formidable force on the road this season, remaining undefeated in their previous 10 away fixtures, a run that will give them added confidence ahead of their trip to Stockhorn Arena, where they secured a 2-0 victory in December.
However, Maassen faces a number of selection headaches, with Behar Neziri, Betim Fazliji, and Enoch Owusu all sidelined through injury, while centre-back Jozo Stanic is suspended for one match following the accumulation of yellow cards.

Prediction
While the visitors carry the psychological advantage of being the last side to leave the Stockhorn Arena with all three points back in December, the current iteration of Mauro Lustrinelli’s side appears to be a far more clinical and emotionally mature juggernaut. Thun’s extraordinary 10-match winning streak has been built on a foundation of high-intensity verticality, and with the Oberlanders scoring 23% of their goals in the final fifteen minutes, their physical conditioning often overwhelms opponents in the closing stages.
We expect a high-octane affair where Enrico Maassen’s men find joy through their masterful transitional play to briefly threaten Thun’s unbeaten home start to 2026. However, the sheer weight of offensive talent and the '12th man' factor in the Bernese Oberland should eventually tip the scales. We predict a narrow but statement victory for the hosts, further solidifying their champions-elect status and effectively ending any lingering hopes of a late-season title race.
Three Reasons we expect FC Thun to Win
- Thun looks unstoppable with 10 consecutive wins across all competitions.
- Thun have combined a five-game winning streak, scoring an impressive 16 goals in the process.
- St. Gallen have settled for shared points in three of their last four matches.
