St. Gallen vs FC Basel Prediction and Betting Tips | May 14th 2023

FC Basel return to action in the Swiss Super League when they visit Kybun Park to face St. Gallen on Sunday.

The Bebbi picked up a first-leg victory over Fiorentina in their Conference League semi-final clash in midweek and will look to build on that result.

St. Gallen’s dire second half of the season continued as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Young Boys last Saturday.

Peter Zeidler’s men have now gone 12 consecutive games without a win, losing seven and claiming five draws since February’s 4-0 victory over FC Sion.

This poor run has seen St. Gallen drop to seventh place in the Swiss Super League table, level on 37 points with eighth-placed FC Zurich.

Elsewhere, Basel placed one foot in the Conference League final on Thursday as they came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Serie A side Fiorentina in the first leg of their semi-final clash.

With the crunch second-leg showdown on the horizon, Heiko Vogel’s men quickly return to action in the Super League, where they will be looking to return to winning ways following their 2-0 home loss against FC Zurich on May 7.

With 42 points from 32 matches, Basel are currently fifth in the league standings, four points behind fourth-placed Luzern in the Conference League qualification spot.
