Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.40 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
FC ST. Gallen's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 1D 4L (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
FC Basel 1893's record over their last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L (1.50 PPG). Last five: L D L W W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.60. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.
FC Basel 1893's away record over their last 10 away games: 5W 2D 3L (1.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.70 for FC ST. Gallen, 1.50 for FC Basel 1893 — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from FC ST. Gallen's last 10 home games and FC Basel 1893's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 70% of FC ST. Gallen's games and 70% of FC Basel 1893's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
H2H History
The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 7 H2H matches in our data, FC Basel 1893 edge it 3 wins to 1, with 3 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage.
The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.1 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 30 Nov 2025, ended FC ST. Gallen 0–0 FC Basel 1893 — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading & In-Play
FC ST. Gallen — key trading statistics (last 66 games, 32 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 78% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; of the 21 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 43%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 39%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 38%.
FC Basel 1893 — key trading statistics (last 66 games, 32 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 84% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; they lead at the break 47% of the time; of the 31 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 26%; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 69% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — FC ST. Gallen 67% and FC Basel 1893 62% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (FC ST. Gallen 56% | FC Basel 1893 61%). Note also that FC Basel 1893 surrender HT leads in 26% of cases while FC ST. Gallen recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 39% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects FC ST. Gallen 1.68 xG and FC Basel 1893 1.53 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: FC ST. Gallen attack 0.920 / defence 0.976 | FC Basel 1893 attack 1.052 / defence 1.083. League average goals — home 1.683 / away 1.488. Data: built from FC ST. Gallen's last 61 games and FC Basel 1893's last 61.
Result probabilities: FC ST. Gallen 39% | Draw 29% | FC Basel 1893 33%. Fair-value odds: FC ST. Gallen 2.57 | Draw 3.51 | FC Basel 1893 3.07. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS Yes probability 66% | Total xG 3.21. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.21 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 66% — both xG figures (1.68 / 1.53) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is FC ST. Gallen at 39% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 29% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC ST. Gallen if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 3.21 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 62% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (FC ST. Gallen's last 10 home games and FC Basel 1893's last 10 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 66% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FC ST. Gallen 70% (last 10 home games) | FC Basel 1893 70% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
FC ST. Gallen beat FC Basel 1893 3-0 at Kybunpark, Regular Season - 29, in the Super League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting FC ST. Gallen 1.68 xG and FC Basel 1893 1.53 xG, a combined 3.21. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. FC ST. Gallen beat their projection by 1.3 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. FC Basel 1893 landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC ST. Gallen attack 0.92 / defence 0.98 against FC Basel 1893 attack 1.05 / defence 1.08, drawn from 61/61 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it FC ST. Gallen 39% | Draw 29% | FC Basel 1893 33%, with FC ST. Gallen to win its most likely call at 39%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 62%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 66% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC ST. Gallen 56%, FC Basel 1893 61%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 64%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Gallen (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.81 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.25 average — tighter than their form line. FC Basel 1893 (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.16 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.53 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
