AFG Arena will be the venue for the second game of the playoff encounter in the Swiss Super League, involving St. Gallen and Winterthur.

St. Gallen: Form and Statistics

St. Gallen have been inconsistent but they come in as the favourites in this encounter. In recent encounters, this team has shown character and they will hope to keep things right. In their first postseason encounter, this team played Yverdon and they could only take a point. In that game, St. Gallen took the lead within six minutes of kickoff, with Willem Geubbels putting them in the lead. However, a 74th minute Varol Salman Tasar was enough to stop this team taking maximum points. In the meantime, St. Gallen have gone unbeaten in their last five matches, winning two and drawing three. In that run, St. Gallen scored five goals, and conceded three. In the league standings, St. Gallen sit top of the relegation group with 48 points, 47 goals scored and 44 conceded.

St. Gallen vs Winterthur Prediction 10 May 2025

Winterthur are in dire need of this game to avoid a defeat, and their performances in this fixture have been at top level. While Winterthur have been securing crucial victories in recent matches, they will also need to be at their best in this game to take maximum points as they play on the road. On the other hand, St. Gallen are the better team on paper, and the hosts have to get the job done after a number of inconsistent performances. However, Winterthur have been good offensively in recent matches, scoring in almost each encounter, while St. Gallen have not failed to score in their last five encounters. This should be a tight one, but I feel St. Gallen should be able to get a win here. Also, Winterthur will not give in easily and will be able to score here.
