FC St. Gallen vs FC Nordsjælland prediction

THE FORECAST

St. Gallen must overturn the 0-1 defeat from the first leg and has a home attack statistic of 2.7 goals per match, which combined with the pressure to advance creates an offensively set up home team; the weather conditions (mild, dry, little wind) are neutral for both playing styles. Nordsjaelland has been defensively very strong (0.2 goals against, 4 clean sheets) but with only 4 days rest has slightly more match load than St. Gallen, and the high transfer activity at both clubs indicates a changed squad. St. Gallen has the home advantage and qualification motivation, but Nordsjaelland's exceptional defensive form makes a goalless or narrow defeat for the visitors realistic.
