St. Gallen: unbeaten run
In their previous Swiss Cup match on 16 October 2026, St. Gallen won 2-0 away at Rapperswil-Jona. Despite an equal number of attacks, the visitors held 83% possession and had 17 shots to their opponents' five.

Their main problems have been at the back, where they are conceding an average of around 1.8 goals per game, while their attack is producing only 1.4 goals per match - not always enough to make up for defensive mistakes.
