Basel hosts St. Gallen in round 2 of Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Saturday, July 27th atSt. Jakob-Park (Basel)
Marcel Koller and his team started the new season of the Swiss championship, confidently hammering Sion (1-4) away in the first round (that's what the fans expected from that meeting). The club from Basel dominated in that game: it held fast dangerous attacks and put constant pressure on the opponent. It is also worth mentioning that Basel recently held an away match against PSV in the Champions League qualification. In that confrontation, the team looked decent but conceded two goals at the end and lost. In the last season, Basel ranked second but catastrophically lagged behind Young Boys. This season, the club will try to prevent this situation, especially Young Boys made a mistake in the first match and could not take 3 points. Therefore, Basel needs to gain a victory in the upcoming game in order not to lose the advantage that it received at the very start of the season.

St. Gallen held its first match against Luzern at home and lost (0-2). It is worth noting that the team of Peter Zeidler looked much better than its rival did. St. Gallen acted well in the attack, creating quite dangerous attempts. In defense, the club looked worse than in the attack, making mistakes in simple situations (players have not fully gained physical shape yet). However, due to the decisions of the video assistant referee (cancellation of a penalty kick in the goal of Luzern), Luzern managed to take away three points. As for the upcoming match, St. Gallen is likely to be left without points again.
I’m waiting for a confident victory of Basel in the upcoming game, so I propose to bet on a -1 handicap of the home team. Yes, Basel played in the Champions League qualification and held a tough match with Dutch PSV + Marcel Koller’s men will soon have a return match at home. However, the class of Basel’s players is enough to confront St. Gallen and beat it with a goal difference of two goals. The visitors do not show an outstanding game and are unlikely to oppose anything to the favorite of the meeting.
Prediction for the match: Basel to win with -1.0 handicap
