Yverdon-Sport vs St. Gallen prediction, preview, team news and more | Swiss Cup 2021-22

A place in the Swiss Cup final will be on the line as Yverdon-Sport and St. Gallen square off in Thursday’s semi-final at the Stade Municipal.

The visitors saw their 17-game unbeaten run come to an end last time out and will be looking to quickly move on from that result.

Yverdon-Sport failed to make it two wins from two in the Swiss Challenge League as they suffered a 1-0 loss to Schaffhausen on Monday.

They have now failed to win eight of their last 10 games, only managing victories over Stade Lausanne-Ouchy and FC Aarau in that time.

Yverdon-Sport have now turned their attention to the Swiss Cup, where they have enjoyed a stellar run to the semi-finals, brushing aside Wil 1900, FC Zurich and Lausanne-Sport respectively.

Meanwhile, St. Gallen suffered a blow to their UEFA Conference League qualification chances as they fell to a 3-2 defeat at FC Luzern in the Swiss Super League last time out.

Prior to that, they were on a run of 17 games without defeat in all competitions, claiming 12 wins and five draws in that time.

St. Gallen have enjoyed a smooth run in the cup so far, kicking off their campaign with a 2-1 win over FC Chiasso last October before seeing off Etoile Carouge 2-1 in February’s quarter-final clash.
