Grasshopper Club Zurich vs St. Gallen Prediction 22 May 2025

Grasshoppers are favoured in this game and it is understood as they clearly need a win at all cost to save their season. However, this team is not just worthy of maximum points with the performances they have had this season and how much they have struggled in this fixture. While being at home will be a big boost for them, it is crucial to note they have not also lived up to expectations in many encounters. On the other hand, St. Gallen look like a different side since the beginning of the playoffs, with only one win so far. However, on paper, they are not the favourites despite having the better team. While the momentum will be on the home team side, I feel St. Gallen will not also give them an easy task here. This will be competitive and demanding, going either ways favour. Yet, I believe the visiting team will still get within the margin here, and take a draw in this competitive encounter.

Our betting tip: is over 10 corners with odds at 2.00 on Bet365 bookmaker.
