St. Gallen vs Fiorentina tips and predictions

Visitors odds too short ahead of Conference League clash

To start this preview with a caveat; this strategy is pushing the envelope but the away side price is too short.

The hosts are going into the match having chalked up 9 wins from their last 18 games.

St. Gallen need to extract confidence from somewhere. They have been producing some brilliant stuff. Their recent 18 matches have them knocking in an average of 2.1 goals per game and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 7 home games.

Fiorentina have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They actually conceded three or more goals in 5 of their last 20 away matches. And their problems aren't only in their defensive line. In front of goal the visitors have been disappointing. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 20 away matches.

If the win is out of reach, they can nick something here. Don't rule out seeing the hosts come away having battled to a deadlock. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Fiorentina. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
