In case of a victory against Thun, St Gallen could celebrate its third victory in series and take out thus four points lead on the direct opponent from Bern. The Argentinier Aguirre still closed in Sion, he was ill under the week, his return to the starting eleven is further questionable. “He is not completely fit. We wait till the last moment to decide if he will play”, explains Krassimir Balakov, who can count again on Gjasula and Longo. Tachie Mensah is likewise on the best way back into the crew.
Thun decided the two past plays in the current season against east Swiss to its favor (1:0 at home, 4:0 outward). The double goal scorer from the last play is missing. The ex-international, who just extended his contract by one year until 2009, feels pain in the calf. Glarner is hurt at the thigh and will leave his place to Gerber, who was missing during the last trainings, however he should be ready on Saturday. Dosek returns to the team.
