Grasshopper have the most titles in Switzerland, but they are not a good Super League team for a long time now. They even spent two years (2019/20 and 2020/21) in the second tier. This season they are in 6th place with 43 points from 34 matches. With only two rounds left, they are four points away from the 4th place and Europe next season.
Grasshopper had a chance to secure Europe but lost five of the last eight matches and pretty much wasted the opportunity.
St. Gallen were primarily a mid-table team in recent years, except for the 2019/202 season when they finished second. This season they are 7th with 41 points from 34 matches and have no chance to move significantly up or down in the standings.
Grasshopper vs St. Gallen pick: Over 2.5 goals
Grasshopper have the most games with three or more goals in Super League. They were 23 times over and 11 times under the 2.5 goals line. At home, they are even better and were 13 times over 2.5 goals in 17 rounds.
Grasshopper were over 2.5 goals in six of the previous seven games.
St. Gallen holds the second-best offensive record in Super League, with 60 goals scored in 34 matches. Only Young Boys scored more than them.

Grasshopper team news
Coach Giorgio Contini spoke to the media after a 2:1 loss to a city rival (Zurich). He said they started the game well and took the lead but were too passive after the goal. He also said they lacked the intensity in the second half and lost the ball frequently. "The bottom line is that some things were missing today, which we now have to address," the coach added.
Due to injuries, three players will miss the game: Forwards Guilherme Schettine (knee) and Francis Momoh (knee), and attacking winger Filipe de Carvalho Ferreira (ACL).
Attacking midfielder, Petar Pušić will serve his one-game suspension after collecting yellow cards.
