Basel and St. Gallen will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 10 clash on Sunday (October 20th). The home side will be looking to build on the 1-0 home victory they registered over Young Boys a fortnight ago.
Their visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute following Sandro Lauper's 40th-minute goal. Adrian Leon Barisic scored the match-winner seven minutes into the second half.
St. Gallen, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Servette. They went into the break in the lead courtesy of Lukas Gortler's 21st-minute strike while Miroslav Stevanovic equalized in the opening seconds of the second half.
The draw left them in fifth spot in the table, having garnered 14 points from nine games. Basel are one point and one spot below their visitors in the table.

Basel vs St. Gallen Prediction
Basel will be buzzing from their morale-boosting victory against Young Boys. The defending champions have made a nightmarish start to the campaign but the Rotblau would still relish a rare win against the Bern outfit.
St. Gallen have a crucial UEFA Conference League clash against Fiorentina to come four days after this game. Espen were thrashed in their Conference League opener by Cercle Brugge and could have one sight set on the Viola's visit.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
