Grasshopper vs St. Gallen prediction and betting tips on May 22 2025
Game Prediction
In the 38th round of the Swiss Super League relegation group on May 22, 2025, Grasshopper will play against St. Gallen. The home side needs nothing but victory, but they are facing the leader of this group of six.
Our Prediction for Grasshopper vs St. Gallen
The Zurich club finished next to last last season. But they saved themselves in the playoffs against Thun, and it was dramatic: at home, they equalized in the 97th minute with a penalty, and then away, playing with a man advantage, clinched victory also right before the final whistle. The current visitors finished fifth at that time, which was enough to secure another European qualification.
In the Conference League, the Swiss side passed through three qualifying rounds, including eliminating Trabzonspor. However, in the group stage, they managed just five points and failed to progress further. In the new domestic season, they were unlucky: they lost the battle for sixth place to Lausanne, even though both sides had 47 points. It's not surprising that in this relegation group, the players have often lacked motivation, resulting in a low number of victories. Nevertheless, they did defeat Zurich in the last round. The home team seemed to have improved and learned their lessons: after the main round, they had 33 points and a "safe" tenth place. But in this relegation group, after a series of defeats, they dropped to the last position. Yes, they then thrashed Yverdon-Sport, but in the last round lost to Sion.
Irankunda and company average about 1.4 goals both scored and conceded per game. The underdog, with 1.11 goals scored on average, concedes nearly 1.5 (1.43) per match.
