DDWLWL ⚖
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Servette FC in Super League competition, St Gallen and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
Grejohn Kyei (29') was the scorer for Servette FC.
St Gallen have seen success in front of goal of late, scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Espen can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same matches. Despite that, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall be maintained in this match or not.

- have not won against FC Luzern when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.
