💭 Prediction

In our opinion, St Gallen are certainly able to find the back of the net against this Lugano lineup, however it realistically won’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Lugano by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Should be a good one.
