The reigning champion FC Basel hosts St. Gallen in the 5. round of the Swiss Super League.
FC Basel had a fantastic start in the Swiss league winning all their 4 games. They also sent FC Zrich last weekend with a 4:1 victory back home, after Zrich won the 4 first games too.
Basel lost some key players after last season such as Valentin Stocker (Herta BSC) and Yann Sommer (Borussia Mnchengladbach) but they also bought with Shkelzen Gashi the top scorer of last season and with Yoichiro Kakitani a Japanese super star. Furthermore they have with Paulo Sousa a new experienced and offensive coach.
St. Gallen on the other side had a rather bad start in the season with two draws and one win at home and a lost game in Sion. They had some changes in their team as well but the squad doesnt look improved at all.
Basel is here the clear favourite with an amazing crowd in their stadium and havent lost at home for 1 year (11.08.2013 1:2 vs FC Zrich). A bet on Basel is with Odds 1.45 pretty low Id bet on Basel in Front after 1. half with Odds 1.95 @ bet365.
Explanation: Basel was in the first 4 matches always 2:0 in front, St. Gallen on the other Hand was never in front (2 times draw, 2 times 0:1).
Pick: Basel to lead after first half
