St. Gallen will host Young Boys at Kybunpark on Saturday in another round of the 2022-23 Swiss Super League campaign.
The home side have struggled for results since the turn of the year and now look set to finish the season in the bottom half of the table. They played out a 1-1 draw against Servette last time out, taking the lead via a Christian Witzig strike before their opponents drew level from the penalty spot just before the interval.
St. Gallen sit seventh in the league table with 37 points picked so far and will be hopeful of adding to that tally this weekend.

They secured their 16th league title last weekend with a 5-1 demolition of Luzern, with five different players getting on the scoresheet including the league's top scorer Cedric Itten who came off the bench to score his 18th goal of the campaign.
