St Gallen take on the visitors Young Boys in the round 2 match of Swiss Super League, The match will be played on Sunday, July 28th at Kybunpark (St. Gallen).
St. Gallen managed to finish in the top 5 in the Swiss league last season, which was enough to earn a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League. However, they had to start early, from the second qualifying round. On Thursday, they hosted Tobol, a team that has been in full swing since spring and is in good form. St. Gallen managed to settle things quickly, thrashing the Kazakh side 4-1. A challenging trip to distant Kostanay awaits them, but they can't afford to relax in the domestic league either. The new coach, Enrico Maassen (known for his work with Augsburg in the Bundesliga), had a rough start. His new team began the season with a trip to Winterthur. Despite dominating, they failed to score and conceded in the 70th minute, ultimately losing the match.

Young boys set high goals as usual. The "Bees" won last season with a 12-point lead over their nearest rivals, leaving no room for competition. This was a title defense after winning the league in the 2022/2023 season, marking their sixth championship in the last seven seasons, with only a slip in 2022. The expectation now is to maintain their dominance and achieve success in European competitions. However, the official debut of their new coach, Patrick Rahmen, didn't go as planned. The champions surprisingly lost at home to Sion. Ganvoula opened the scoring early, but the team, which spent last year in the second division, wasn't fazed and responded with two goals of their own. In a rescheduled match on Wednesday, they faced Servette and fared no better, conceding twice at the end of the first half and ultimately losing 1-3.
The "Bees" have been dominant, but St. Gallen won at home last autumn and managed a 2-2 draw in the spring. Despite a disappointing start to the league, it's too early to write them off completely. A neutral betting option would be to go for "total over 3.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
