SwitzerlandCurrent form
St. Gallen is not having the most successful season. The team is only in eighth place in the Swiss championship and is already four points behind the top 6. The club recently dropped out of the national cup, losing to Bellinzona from the first league. The club is not achieving much success in the Conference League either. In the first two rounds, the Swiss conceded as many as ten goals from Cercle Brugge (2:6) and Fiorentina (2:4). The following matches were more successful. The hosts managed to beat Northern Irish Larne (2:1), and then narrowly avoided defeat from Backa Topola (2:2).

Vitoria de Guimaraes
PortugalCurrent form
The Portuguese team demonstrates a good level of play not only in the domestic championship, but also in the European arena. The team steamrolled its opponents in the qualifying stages and continues to perform successfully in the main stage. In the first three rounds, Vitoria Guimarães did not lose a single point, beating Celje (3:1), Djurgården (2:1) and Mlada Boleslav (2:1). Only in the last round, Vitoria managed to score only one point in the confrontation with Astana (1:1). The Portuguese club was close to defeat, but still equalized the score in the 89th minute.

1.65Tip and bets
The hosts are on the edge of the playoff zone and a positive result in this match will help the Swiss club get into the top 24. The last two matches in the tournament ended quite successfully for St. Gallen, so there are good chances for a positive outcome in the match with Vitoria, which has not demonstrated anything outstanding in recent matches.
Our prediction is St. Gallen will not lose at 1.70
Bet on total
The hosts have conceded the most goals in this Conference League, all due to their poor performance in the first two rounds. These defeats forced the Swiss to improve their defensive game, so we believe that there will be no goal-scoring extravaganza this time. Most likely, the opponents will limit themselves to two goals scored.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.02
Bet on corners
We don't expect our opponents to play aggressively in attack in this match, so we recommend betting that there won't be many corners.
Our prediction is total corners under 10.5 for 1.80
