**Basel's rolling**, St. Gallen's sinking — and this one's about **which team shows up on Sunday**. 🔴

Basel are genuinely in form (2W from their last three), while St. Gallen have won once in five and look fragile after that 4-1 hammering at Lugano. The home crowd at St. Jakob-Park should give the hosts another edge here.

Key storylines:

- **Basel's attacking threat** led by **X. Shaqiri** and **Ž. Celar** faces a St. Gallen backline that's been leaking goals all month

- **St. Gallen's injury woes** (**C. Konietzke** and **L. Görtler** out) compound their form crisis heading into a rival's fortress

- **Basel's defensive gaps** (**A. Bačanin**, **J. Omlin**, and **K. Eduardo** all sidelined) give St. Gallen a sliver of hope on the counter

Expected lineups:

- **Basel**: M. Salvi, M. Cissé, A. Victory, F. Daniliuc, K. Tsunemoto, Metinho, B. Omeragić, K. Olaigbe, X. Shaqiri, G. Koloto, Ž. Celar

- **FC St. Gallen 1879**: L. A. Zigi, C. Okoroji, J. Stanić, J. Ruiz, C. N. Kleine-Bekel, L. Daschner, L. Frokaj, B. Neziri, A. Balde, E. Owusu, A. Hunziker

Prediction:

**Basel 2–0 St. Gallen**. Basel have the cleaner form and historical edge here — slight favorite. 💪
