Basel welcomes St.Gallen, FCZ visits Geneva, Lausanne against Lugano
In the Sunday games of the Super League, FC Basel has the chance to increase the cushion on the Young Boys again. The FCZ can also take advantage of the master’s loss of points.
Basel welcomes FC St. Gallen at 4.30 p.m., who picked up speed after a bad start to the season with two wins from the last three games and a 3-1 win over YB last weekend. Before that, the FCZ competes in Geneva with Servette, which has only lost since October. Lausanne-Sport and Lugano duel in the third game of the day.
Four days after the draw at Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus, with which they qualified for the knockout phase of the Conference League, FCB have to do without Sebastiano Esposito and Taulant Xhaka. The use of Edon Zhegrova is also questionable. If the team of coach Patrick Rahmen is once again harmed, this will be the third longest streak at the start of a Super League season. Only FCB was twice longer without defeat: 23 times in 2003/04, 16 times in 2016/17. YB’s best streak ended in 2019 after twelve rounds.

The focus on Sunday is also on Arthur Cabral. The Brazilian striker holds 13 goals and four assists. His statistics against St. Gallen, which recently defeated YB 3: 1, are similarly good: he scored five times in six duels, four of them in the last three games. There have been no other scorers from Basel in the last four games between FCB and St. Gallen.
Meanwhile, Servette is striving to close a circle with the home game against FC Zurich. At the beginning of the negative series of seven games without a win and most recently five defeats in a row, the 2-2 win against FCZ was in the first duel of the season. After the 3: 3 draw against GC and Basel and the 12:13 after penalty shootout in the Cup against Yverdon, Zurich has also been waiting for a full success for three competitive games.

Lausanne for the connection
For Lausanne-Sport, the goal against Lugano is not to be left behind at the end of the table. An early opening goal would help the endeavor, as the teams have been stingy with goals in the direct duels since Lausanne’s resurgence last year. One game ended 0-0, three times Lugano won through to zero, once Lausanne-Sport.
Lugano has won four of its last six competitive games. One of the four victories was the 2: 1 against the Young Boys in the cup, another the 2: 0 against Lausanne-Sport in the 9th round.
