St. Gallen vs Servette Prediction: Can Gallen hold Servette again?

AFG Arena will host the Swiss Super League encounter between St. Gallen and Servette. The two teams could not secure a win in their last league game and will hope for a positive result here. Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

St. Gallen

St. Gallen will eye a league win following the midweek draw with Luzern. In what was a 1-1 encounter, this team came from behind to pick a point, thanks to a 9th-minute Chadrac Akolo strike. In the meantime, that result made it three matches without a win for St. Gallen, with only one win in their last seven coming against Grasshoppers. In other matches, St. Gallen lost to Yverdon, Winterthur, Lausanne and Young Boys. Ahead of this game, St. Gallen have 40 points from 30 league matches, leaving them seated in 8th spot.

Servette

Servette played Young Boys the previous time out and they lost. In a 0-1 contest, the 41st-minute Christian Fassnacht strike was the difference, as Servette had only one shot on target, which they could not convert. In the meantime, Servette have lost twice in their last three matches, with the first against a struggling Yverdon. Ahead of this game, Servette have won their last four road matches, which will be a momentum boost for them. The visitors have 51 points this season from 30 matches, which saw them sit second in the standings, scoring 49 goals while conceding 40.
