Tobol vs St. Gallen Prediction and Betting Tips | August 1, 2024

Tobol host St. Gallen at the Ortalyq Stadıon in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday (August 1). The hosts face an uphill battle to overturn their deficit.

Tobol lost 4-1 in the first leg at Kybunpark in St. Gallen last week. The Swiss side controlled the game from start to finish, with Tobol’s sole effort coming as an own goal. Albert Vallci gifted Tobol a 28th-minute goal but atoned for that by scoring St. Gallen’s fourth goal in stoppage time.

The Kostanay-based team dropped to the Conference League after crashing out of the Europa League qualifiers earlier this month. They lost to Slovak side Ruzomberok 5-3 on aggregate to make a fourth return to the UEFA Conference League. Tobol reached the play-off round last season – their best record in the competition.

St. Gallen should be brimming with confidence ahead of the rematch, thanks to their three-goal lead. They will hope to reproduce their brilliant performance in the first leg.

Espen finished fifth in the Swiss Super League last season to book their place in the UEFA Conference League for the first time. It also marks their return to Europe since their last appearance in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League.

St. Gallen, meanwhile, opened their domestic campaign with a 1-0 defeat ata Winterthur last week.
