It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 7th and the visitors in 10th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for St. Gallen and Grasshopper. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
