St. Gallen vs Luzern Prediction & Betting tips
FC St. Gallen is still on course towards the third national championship. Although the Espen drew only one draw against Lugano and Geneva last week, they are one point ahead of defending champions BSC Young Boys.
It is all the more important to make up for Lucerne at home. In the run-up to the game between St. Gallen and Lucerne, the odds of the bookies swing towards the home side, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.
However, in St. Gallen vs. Lucerne, the forecast must take into account that the aspens are not the strongest team in the Super League. With nine wins from 15 home games, the team of Peter Zeidler only occupies third place in the home table and already lost the last home game against the lights with 0: 2.
St. Gallen :
FC St. Gallen will have to stay in the table for six game days ahead of defending champion BSC Young Boys and will then take on title number three 20 years after the last national championship to date.
Without a doubt, that would be a big surprise, as the aspens had hardly anyone in the lead up to the season. No wonder, because the green-whites only finished sixth last summer and even had to hand in a few top performers.
It is all the more honorable what has grown together under Peter Zeidler in the east of Switzerland over the past two years, although the break in season has certainly harmed the aspens. Only four of the seven games since re-start resulted in a triple. Most recently, St. Gallen was victorious twice in a row.
Particularly bitter: Ermedin Demirovic, who is one of the top performers with his twelve ligators, picked up a yellow-red card in the recent draw against Geneva and is missing. In addition to the five injuries, he is one of six losses that the championship leader has to compensate.
This is remarkable because the green-whites have their strength in the distance and “only” scored 29 out of 45 possible points at home. The vulnerability to goals in one’s own stadium should be emphasized in particular. There were already 23 home goals in kybunpark. This corresponds to the fifth worst value in the entire Super League.
Luzern:
FC Luzern not only finished fifth in the final table last summer, but also currently occupy fifth place in the Super League table. There is still potential to be at least fourth and to buy the ticket for the second qualifying round for the Europa League.
The blue-and-white are missing three points for Servette Geneva, which can be traced back to last week when this opponent lost 0-2.
Since the restart, eleven out of 21 possible points have been for the team of Fabio Celestini, who has got a bit off track. Overall, FC Lucerne is ultimately the most successful team in the Super League in calendar year 2020 with 24 out of 36 possible points and a goal difference of 20:13.
The lights received the fewest goals conceded by all first division teams in the current year and also scored a respectable 20 goals, which favors the tip on “Both teams meet” in St. Gallen against Lucerne.
The fact that they can keep up with the front-runner is also shown by the fact that two of the three duels went to the blue-and-whites in the current season, who recently also proved that morale is right. On Sunday, they came back after a 0: 3 deficit against Lugano and ended up playing 3: 3.
However, the staff ceiling of the lights is not exactly ideal either. In addition to Knezevic, who was still banned after being sent off against Geneva, Emini is now also missing with a yellow card suspension. There are also five injured players, which makes rotating difficult. Coupled with the fact that Lucerne lost eight of the 15 away games in the Super League, the trip to the league leader is not under the best star.
