Zurich vs St. Gallen Preview

The hosts appear to have hit the ground running in the new campaign.

However, they are leading the race in the new season with 10 points following three wins and one draw after four matches.

FCZ will be looking to build on their early momentum when they take on St. Gallen. Zurich will head into the clash on the back of three straight wins. They have emerged the winners twice in their last three matches against St. Gallen, while one game ended in a draw. Zurich also boast an impressive home record.

St. Gallen are set to play their third successive away match, having won once and drawn once in their previous two. They sit fourth in the standings, trailing Zurich by three points, but could be toppled if they fail to win at Stadion Letzigrund. Up to five teams are hot on their heels only one or two points behind.

Espen have always been a difficult opponent for Zurich. Their clashes have proved to be fierce, involving physicality and aggression, with their last three meetings attracting four red cards – two apiece. St. Gallen are expected to put up a good fight to possibly cause an upset on matchday five.
