St. Gallen vs Young Boys Prediction: Visiting Young Boys have nothing to lose

The action of the Swiss Super League shifts to St. Gallen's Kybunpark, where Young Boys will face off against St. Gallen. St. Gallen have not tasted victory in their most recent outings, while the Young Boys are coming into this encounter on the heels of a victory over Luzern.

After playing Servette FC to a 1-1 draw in the last round of the Super League, St. Gallen moves on to prepare for this upcoming match. During that match, St. Gallen held 41% of the possession and had 14 shots on goal, with five of them finding the target. Christian Witzig was the lone player from St. Gallen to make it onto the scoresheet at the 28-minute mark. On the other hand, Servette had 18 shots on goal, but only three of them were successful in hitting the target. In the 42nd minute, Chris Bedia scored the goal for Servette FC. St. Gallen has been having trouble keeping clean sheets as of late, but they have found other methods to score goals for themselves in recent games. Over the course of their most recent six encounters, St. Gallen conceded goals in five of those matchups while also having their goals compromised in the other six matches.

Young Boys are coming into this encounter on the heels of a victory in their most recent Super League match, which they won 5-1 over FC Luzern. During that match, Young Boys held possession of the ball for 55% of the game and had 16 shots on goal, with 7 of them finding the target. The goal scorers for Young Boys were Jean-Pierre Nsame in the 32nd minute, Christian Fassnacht in the 38th minute, Aurèle Amenda in the 41st minute with an own goal, Sandro Lauper in the 44th minute, Fabian Rieder in the 61st minute, and Cedric Itten in the 80th minute. Luzern had 11 shots on goal, but only two of them were successful in hitting the target. In the run-up to this match, Young Boys have been productive moving forward, as seen by the fact that they have scored 19 goals in their last six outings.

St. Gallen and Young Boys have competed 64 times over the course of the last seasons, with Young Boys coming out on top 39 times and St. Gallen taking home eight victories. There were 17 games that were decided by a tie. In the head-to-head matchups, St. Gallen scored 81 goals, while Young Boys managed to score 137 goals.

Even though they have the superior roster here and are coming off a smashing victory, the Young Boys are not particularly good when they play away from home. On the other hand, the host team have not been acting with class as of late, and we do not believe they have what it takes to beat Young Boys here.
