Thun on the Brink: Can They Seal the Swiss Super League Title Against St. Gallen?
The Swiss Super League is witnessing a remarkable season, and Thun is on the cusp of achieving what would be a historic feat. Following their tenth consecutive league win – a 2-1 victory over Luzern – Thun holds a commanding 14-point lead over second-placed St. Gallen. Thursday’s match against St. Gallen is shaping up to be a pivotal moment, potentially bringing the title within reach for the Bernese Oberland club.
A Statistical Anomaly: Thun’s Dominance
Statistically, Thun’s position is unprecedented. No team in Super League history has relinquished a lead of this magnitude at a comparable stage of the season. A win against St. Gallen would extend their advantage to 17 points, making their championship all but certain.
While Thun won’t surpass YB’s record for the earliest championship win (secured with 7 games remaining in the 2018/19 and 2020/21 seasons), they could potentially equal it. With the current Super League format featuring 36 rounds, Thun could theoretically achieve a 23-point lead by round 30, securing the title with 6 games to spare – mirroring YB’s accomplishment.
Record-Breaking Season for the Newly Promoted Side
Thun’s season has been nothing short of exceptional. They are currently enjoying a remarkable run of form and setting new benchmarks:
- No promoted team has ever performed as well as Thun after 27 Super League games (64 points). Sion in 2006/07 previously held the record with 60 points after a full 36-round season.
- Only four teams have accumulated more points after 27 games: Basel (three times) and YB (once).
- Thun leads the league in several key statistics, including goals scored, fewest goals conceded, shots, substantial chances created, and fewest points dropped from winning positions.
Could Thun Be Champions Before the Championship Round?
A unique possibility exists for Thun this season. If they win on Thursday and maintain their lead through round 33, they could secure the championship *before* the start of the Championship Round – a first in Swiss Super League history.
Revenge on the Agenda: A Previous Defeat to St. Gallen
Despite their impressive form, Thun has a score to settle with St. Gallen. The “Grün-Weissen” were the last team to defeat Thun, winning 2-0 in Thun back in mid-December. This adds extra significance to Thursday’s encounter.
