Thun Team Overview
Thun, meanwhile, have made a poor start to their title defence: three points from three matches, sitting ninth, though a game in hand gives them the chance to improve their position quickly. Over their last ten matches, Thun have averaged 2.1 goals scored but 2.7 conceded per game, and at the start of the new season that defensive figure has risen to 3.67 per match. In their last five matches, they have won once, drawn once and lost three times. Defence looks like the reigning champions' main weakness right now, and even a reasonably productive attack has not been enough to bring in points consistently.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
St. Gallen are clear favourites for this match and, playing at home, should be looking to create chances going forward. That said, writing off the reigning champions would be a mistake: Thun will clearly look to put up a fight and are capable of threatening at the other end. In that scenario, the game could turn into an open affair, particularly if one of the sides scores early enough. Our pick is Total Goals - Over 3.5.
