St Gallen and Lugano sit 2nd and 3rd in the Swiss Super League this season, though both are well off the pace set by Thun, who have been one of the stories of the season across Europe as a newly promoted side looking to claim the title in the top-flight for the first time of asking.
Every spot matters in the Swiss Super League, with the division breaking off into a Championship group and a Relegation group at the end of the league phase. The higher up you finish, the easier your games become in those separate groups - so the teams do have plenty to fight for despite comfortably being in the Championship group spots.
The initial league meeting between the sides saw BTTS as St Gallen ran out 3-1 winners over Lugano on the road. Lugano come into this clash having seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, winning two of those games. St Gallen have also seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, remaining unbeaten across all of those games.
