While Thun took another step towards the title on Saturday and further widened the gap to the chasing pack with another win, the chasing duel in eastern Switzerland fell victim to the weather. Referee Lukas Fähndrich was forced to cancel the game just a few minutes before kick-off due to the onset of heavy snowfall. The game will now be rescheduled for Tuesday (19:00).
With a win in front of a home crowd, Enrico Maassen's team could close the gap to Thun to 14 points again. However, the German coach is probably more concerned with maintaining or, in the best-case scenario, increasing the gap at the back. Three points on Tuesday and FCSG would be eight points ahead of Lugano and Basel with eight rounds to go.
For their part, the Ticino side would love to make the battle for second place all the more exciting. The prerequisite for this is a win away from home, something that Mattia Croci-Torti's team has only managed once this year. In any case, the record in the last direct duels speaks clearly in favor of St. Gallen. Lugano have been waiting more than two years for a win against the eastern Swiss side, who have won four of their last six encounters with the Bianconeri.
