In a weekend match in week 9, on Sat Oct 1st, Basel will host St. Gallen at St. Jakob-park in a clash of the Super League. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Basel recorded a 5-1 win against Grasshopper. Dan Ndoye struck first for Basel in the 3rd minute, then Andi Zeqiri added another in the 17th minute. Basel is looking for direction having 2 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while 3rd placed St. Gallen is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Sion. Ylyas Chouaref scored the first goal for Sion in the 18th minute, then Filip Stojilkovic added another in the 29th minute on a feed from Numa Lavanchy. St. Gallen should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win and 2 draws apiece.
St. Gallen is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Emmanuel Latte Lath and Lukas Görtler each having 2 goals in their last five. Andi Zeqiri has been the most effective weapon for Basel lately. The Swiss attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches.
