Luzern Double Chance

Luzern won the Swiss Cup at St Gallen’s expense in May with a crushing 3-1 victory at the Stadion Wankdorf in Berne, and that was the fourth time in five encounters with Espen where Luzern avoided defeat. Die Leuchten performed well last week despite their eventual defeat to champions Young Boys and the confidence gained from that display coupled with their superb head-to-head-record against St Gallen should give them the impetus they need to push for a result at Kybunpark on Sunday.

Both Teams to Score

Both teams to score has landed in five of the last six skirmishes between St Gallen and Luzern and the same bet appeals at the prices on offer on Sunday. Incredibly, 13 of Luzern’s last 14 Super League away matches have produced goals at both ends and we’re tipping that pattern to continue when they visit St Gallen.

Pascal Schürpf to Score Anytime

Pascal Schürpf scored Luzern’s third goal when they toppled St Gallen in May’s Swiss Cup Final and the 32-year-old has notched twice in three appearances against Espen overall. Schürpf bagged his first two goals of the new season against Young Boys a week ago and the expert finisher looks a solid bet to make his mark again on Sunday.

St Gallen vs Luzern: Match Preview

St Gallen

St Gallen endured a turbulent 2020/21 campaign in Switzerland where they eventually finished in seventh spot in the ten-team division – a major drop from their second-place finish the year before. Espen had a quiet summer transfer window shortly after, though their only major signing – Élie Youan – scored twice on his debut against Lausanne Sport last week following his move from Nantes.

Luzern

Luzern are hoping to build on last season’s cup triumph in 2021/22 and with continental football to look forward to, spirit in their camp is understandably high. Manager Fabio Celestini convinced experienced German pair Holger Badstuber and Christian Gentner to join the club over the summer and both players played a part in Luzern’s narrow 4-3 loss to champions Young Boys last week.
