Lugano-St.Gallen


Big game if you look name of this teams.
Lugano trying to catch Bellinzona on second place as St.Gallen will win league and go directly in Super League.Fine results for them in last games.Opositions werent tough but wins are good for positive vibes in team.Bellinzona didnt win this round so Lugano will have extra motivation to win here.Senger is ready to give problems to St.Gallen defenders.No big missings for home team.

St.Gallen know what is their job and they are doing right things to get job done.No need for some big wins , big games. Now they will meet Lugano so i guess they will raise level of play.Quality is on their side for sure.Sutter is suspended but they have enough quality players to cover that.

Dont think St.Gallen will lose here.Simply,better side who should have proper motivation is enough for me to take them DNB.Odds are fine .

After huge squad changes last summer, a coach change early in running season and struggling performances, Lugano got on track last November and is best team afterwards. A rocksolid df is the basis of their success (under is 10-2 in last 12 games with only one defeat). They've been able to deal with capt Baldo's missing, but opponents have been mostly poor lately. Coach Moriero announced that they will focus on df in the first place again vs SG.

St.Gallen seems to steamroll thru the league, but they had to face mostly teams from lower tablepositions so far this spring and actually performances haven't been too convincing as of late, esp in df. They won their homegame vs Lugano last August 1:0 after a tight fight with both defensive formations allowing only few chances. SG didn't win at Cornaredo for 20+years (15 games)...

Linemovement towards Lugano +0,25 justified. A levelball slightly favouring the hosts would be fair imo.
