Young Boys vs St. Gallen Prediction
Young Boys' atrocious UEFA Champions League campaign reached a nadir with their thrashing by Atalanta. Things are not much better for the Bern outfit domestically, as their title defence hasn't gone to plan.
St. Gallen, meanwhile, would have been disappointed not to have claimed maximum points in their Conference League game with TSC, but they have shown a penchant for draws in recent weeks. Nevertheless, expect the hosts to claim a narrow win.
