There’s also domestic action across Europe on Wednesday night and our next stop is in Switzerland where Zurich take on St Gallen in the Super League as the betting tips continue at the Stadion Letzigrund.
Zurich Prediction – Can Zurich break their duck?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Zurich, currently occupy bottom spot on the Super League ladder with just 2 points to their name to date.
Draws with Luzern 0-0 and a 2-2 draw with Neuchatel-Xamax have been Zurich’s only return so far in this season’s new Super League campaign.
The hosts have also suffered heavy defeats to Lugano 4-0 and 3-1 loss against Sion, while an oddly timed friendly against Borusia Dortmund didn’t do them any favours either.
Two games into the new Swiss top flight season, Zurich travelled to Germany to take on Borussia Dortmund in a friendly but this backfired spectacularly.
The Swiss club were handed a heavy 6-0 thrashing which would have done little for their confidence ahead of this season.
Anyway, Zurich return to their Stadion Letzigrund for this clash where they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches in the league.
In addition, Zurich have held the upper hand over their opponents, St Gallen, in recent times in their own backyard.
Zurich are unbeaten in their last 8 meetings at home against St Gallen.
St Gallen Prediction – Can St Gallen pull away from relegation zone?
The visitors sit just two league positions and just 2 points above their Wednesday night’s hosts ahead of this basement clash in the Super League.
With just 1 win so far this season, St Gallen’s current situation isn’t that much better than Zurich’s, so all 3 points will be a welcome haul for either club here.
Indeed, St Gallen have won just 1 of their last 5 matches overall in the Super League which was a 2-1 win away at Basel earlier in this season.
Results away from home have been pretty steady though for St Gallen who have lost just 1 of their last 7 matches overall on the road in the league.
During this sequence, they’ve recorded wins at Neuchatel Xamax, Grasshopper and Basel, but as mentioned earlier, they don’t have a great record at Zurich.
Indeed, St Gallen have won just 3 of their last 25 visits to the Stadion Letzigrund against Zurich, so the odds seem fairly stacked against them getting a result in this encounter.
Key-Facts – Zurich v St Gallen
- Zurich are unbeaten in their last 8 meetings at home against St Gallen
- St Gallen have won just 3 of their last 25 visits to the Stadion Letzigrund
- 3 of the last 6 meetings at Zurich’s ground have ended in draws
Betting Tips Verdict
Zurich have struggled in the first few matches of this season but they’ll be hoping their solid record against St Gallen continues tonight.
