Young Boys vs St. Gallen Prediction & Betting tips
The champagne is already cold in Bern – on the successful defense of the title can be initiated in a few weeks. Eleven laps to go before the end of the current season, the Seoane-Elf has an extremely comfortable 21-point advantage over FC Basel. After the first international break in 2019, the Young Boys will welcome FC St. Gallen from eastern Switzerland on Sunday afternoon. While for the hosts the season finish is the freestyle of a tough season, FC Sankt Gallen (currently 6th) is struggling to qualify for the Europa League.
Although the home-strong champions scored significantly fewer goals than in the autumn, the Young Boys have not suffered many losses so far. 21 of the 25 league games were won and also on Sunday against the FCSG anything but a success would be a surprise. The guests from Eastern Switzerland are currently in poor shape and could only win one of their last six league games.
Young Boys:
Already in the past season, the Young Boys dominated the Swiss league at will and could put an end to the long wait for the twelfth championship title in club history. After the departure of successful coach Adi Hütter, there were concerns about whether the Young Boys can preserve this form. After 25 of 36 matchdays this question can be answered with a clear “yes”. The Swiss champion of the 2017/18 season will also take the trophy to heaven this season. After 25 matchdays, the Seoane-Elf not only has a 21-point advantage over FC Basel, but also eight more points on the credit side than at the same time last season. No fewer than 21 of 25 league games have been won by the reigning champions this season.
There is hardly any relevant statistics in which the Young Boys do not cite the table clearly. 67 goals and 23 goals means both the best offense and the best defensive of the entire league. YBB had only defeated opponents Lucerne 2-3 on their home artificial turf at the Stade de Suisse. The remaining eleven home games could all be won. Despite the clear advantage, the Young Boys kept the concentration high in the spring of 2019. In the seven previous league games, 20 out of 24 points were collected. A difference to the fall is still obvious! The strong offensive has lost its punch! After there were a number of shooting festivals in autumn, the master steals a little bit in 2019 with the gates.
In terms of personnel, 40-year-old Gerardo Seoane will continue to do without injured assisting king Miralem Sulejmani (seven goals, twelve assists) on Sunday. Top goalscorer Guillaume Hoarau (13 goals) has recently made a comeback and could play again for the first time since February 2nd!
St. Gallen :
The aspens from Eastern Switzerland are facing pioneering weeks. No fewer than 13 contracts will expire this summer. The squad composition for the upcoming season is still completely open. It would be all the more important for the FCSG to qualify for the Europa League. This would definitely be a trump card in contract negotiations, because financially the club can not make big leaps.
However, to reach the Europa League goal, the team must quickly find its way out of the crisis. The East Swiss with German coach Peter Zeidler have won only one of the last six league games. Due to the weak results, Sankt Gallen slipped in the table and is only in sixth place after 25 of 36 match days. At least fourth place must be achieved in order to fix the Europa League goal. The gap is still moderate given only two points!
Despite the recent results, panic does not have to break out. A bearer of hope in this crisis is figurehead Tranquillo Barnetta. The man from Sankt Gallen is the absolute crowd pleaser and despite his advanced age and his vulnerability to injury continues to be one of the best players in the squad. However, he may be on a farewell tour, as his knee repeatedly causes injury breaks and he is not yet sure if he can sign a new contract again. Artificial turf is poison for his body and therefore a deployment in the Stade de Suisse is unlikely. With top striker Cedric Itten (cruciate ligament rupture, meanwhile back in team training) falls out of a second major player. The aspens are far from the top form and have personnel problems – although Peter Zeidler stands for an offensive style of play, there will probably be a defensive set on Sunday from Sankt Gallen. Despite lucrative odds is between the Young Boys and St. Gallen a tip on a point win of the guests not recommended!
