Luzern vs St. Gallen Prediction: An open contest is expected

Luzern will play St. Gallen at Swissporarena in the Swiss Super League round 30 contest. In recent meetings, Luzern have won two consecutive matches. Can St. Gallen turn the tables? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Luzern

Luzern are coming off a win over Lausanne and will hope to repeat that feat. In a 1-4 contest, this team showed dominance, with Adrian Grbic, Thibault Klidje, and Bung Meng Freimann netting for this side after Raoul Giger's own goal had put them in the lead. In the meantime, Luzern's recent matches have ended in just one defeat, a 3-2 loss to Zurich. In other matches, Luzern drew with Basel and Yverdon while picking up a win over Xamax. With 47 points, Luzern sit third in the standings with 53 goals scored and 45 conceded.

St. Gallen

St. Gallen played Young Boys in their last league game, and they ended on the losing end. In that contest, St. Gallen had 40 per cent of the possession and attempted nine shots with only one on target, which they failed to convert. While the game ended 1-0, Christian Fassnacht's strike in the 47th minute was the difference. However, St. Gallen have now lost three of their last four matches, two against Winterthur and Lausanne, as their best result was a win over a struggling Grasshoppers side. This season, St. Gallen have 39 points from 29 matches, leaving them seated in 8th place.

Expert Betting Tips

I believe this will be an open contest with both teams expected to focus on winning. While Luzern are the better team here, their recent performances have been inconsistent. In the meantime, Luzern have dominated this fixture, but St. Gallen have been good offensively. This will be an open game, and I do expect goals, while the hosts could win at the end at full time.
