THE PREDICTION
A narrow 1-0 defeat to Basel last time out meant that St. Gallen were unable to pull away from ninth-placed Vaduz, with four points currently separating them from that dreaded relegation playoff spot. They host bottom of the table Sion in a crucial match, which would see the home side extend the gap between themselves and the visitors to nine points with victory that would all but guarantee that they avoid automatic relegation when considering their far superior goal difference. A win for Sion however, narrows the gap between them and the hosts to three points and puts survival well within reach. In such a crucial encounter, nerves will likely play their part among both sides and entertainment is likely to be at a premium. Despite having home advantage, St. Gallen won’t want to risk committing too many bodies forward and being caught on the counter attack by Sion. Therefore, under 2.5 goals scored over the course of 90 minutes may prove the smart play here.
