Zurich take on the visitors St Gallen in the round 16 match of Swiss Cup. The match will be played at Letzigrund Stadion (Zürich) on Thursday, October 27th.
Zurich show quite fascinating results in 2016. On one hand, the team won the national cup and gained the right to play in Europa League. At the same time, the team couldn’t keep their place in elite division and got relegated. New season is perfect for Zurich so far as the hosting side have lost only one match after summer break, 1-2 to strong Villarreal on the road and gained four points in their Europa League group while battling for promotion in the second Swiss division. The team are the favorites of promotional race and they have gained 30 points in 12 matches played and have the lead in the second division. As to their performance in the cup, the team passes two rounds, taking 2-0 wins over La Chaux-De-Fonds and Bellinzona.

St Gallen saved their place in elite division last season but now they show the worst results and sit on deserved last place in the standings. The team also played two rounds in the competition already, eliminating Black Stars, 3-2, and Le Mont, 1-0. St Gallen played eight matches on the road this season, taking three wins, one draw and suffered four defeats.
Zurich are proving that relegation to the second division was coincidence and show much better football than most of the teams from elite division. This is why we can expect the hosts to be victorious in the home clash against the weakest team of the top league.
Prediction for the match: Zurich to win.
