Lugano vs St. Gallen Prediction: Hosts to extend their incredible performance

Cornaredo Stadium will host this Swiss Super League game between Lugano and St. Gallen. Let’s preview this game and make a prediction.

Lugano are coming off a 0-2 win over Sion in the Swiss Cup, a game they won 0-2. In that game, goals from Yanis Cimignani and Zan Celar were enough to take them to the finals of that competition. In the meantime, Lugano's last league game was against Lausanne, and this side also won 2-0. With that win, Lugano boasted an unbeaten run of more than ten, where they drew just one game. This season in the league, Lugano have scored 61 goals while conceding 44, while they sit 2nd spot in the standings with 59 points.

St. Gallen defeated Zurich in their last league game, which ended 0-1. In that encounter, Willem Geubbels’s strike in the 79th minute was enough to earn them maximum points in that game. In the meantime, St. Gallen are unbeaten in their last five games, where they won two and drew three. In that run, St. Gallen defeated Yverdon in another encounter while they drew Lausanne, Luzern and Young Boys. St. Gallen scored 12 goals in those matches while conceding seven.

The last five games between these sides ended in four wins for Lugano, while one ended in a draw. Lugano scored 11 goals in those matches, while St. Gallen scored five.

St. Gallen will have a tough job to do here. The hosts, Lugano, have been incredible week in and week out, drawing just one of their last 12 games, with others ending in wins. St. Gallen have been good, too, in recent games, but I do not think they are at the top level at the moment. Given the history of this fixture, I will take the home team to win here, with both sides good enough to find the back of the net.
