Zurich vs St. Gallen Prediction

Zurich's inability to string together a run of positive results has left them floundering in the relegation zone, with just one point separating the defending champions from the drop.

However, they have a strong home record to count on and are unbeaten in eight games, albeit with four of their last five ending in draws. St. Gallen, meanwhile, are within touching distance of continental qualification but could pay the price for a six-game winless streak in the league.

Both sides have shown a tendency for draws, so the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
