Currently sitting in 6th place, FC Lugano endeavors to ascend the league, while FC St. Gallen 1879, perched on the 4th spot, aims to maintain their edge.

Individually, the contest could boil down to two pivotal players. FC Lugano's goal machine, K. Behrens, who has netted four times this season, will be a significant threat.
