Lugano vs St. Gallen Prediction: The home team will secure a win

Lugano and St. Gallen will square it off at Cornaredo Stadium in round 32 of the Swiss Super League. The two teams last meeting ended in a win for St. Gallen. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Lugano

Lugano played Basel away from home the previous weekend and ended on the losing end. In a 2-0 contest, this team did well to hold their opponent to a goalless draw at halftime before conceding twice in the second half. In the meantime, that defeat was Lugano’s second in their last three matches, one against Servette. Ahead of this game, Lugano have won two and drawn two of their last four home matches. With 48 points from 31 matches, Lugano sit in 5th place with 48 points.

St. Gallen

St. Gallen played Servette in their last league game and they won. In a 1-0 contest, Lukas Daschner's strike in the 48th was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, prior encounters to that win saw St. Gallen go winless in three matches. In that run, St. Gallen lost to Young Boys and Lausanne while settling for a 1-1 draw with Luzern. Ahead of this game, St. Gallen have failed to win any of their last four road matches, where they lost three. With 43 points from 31 matches, St. Gallen sit 8th in the standings, scoring 44 goals and conceding 42 in that run.

Head-to-Head Statistics

In their last five meetings, Lugano and St. Gallen have two goals apiece. However, their match ended in a 1-1 scoreline in this venue. In those matches, Lugano scored ten goals, while St. Gallen scored seven.

Expert Betting Tips

Lugano should win this game, as I am not moved by how St. Gallen performed against Servette last weekend. While Lugano have been inconsistent in the last matches, I still feel the home team will show character here. However, the two teams have been poor defensively, and I feel this game could end with goals.
