Nordsjaelland have a real edge
Nordsjaelland have had a very good week, with their 1-0 Superliga win over Randers followed by a solid 2-0 UEFA Conference League qualifying win at Valur on Thursday. The 5-0 home rout of the same opponents was the best possible preparation for this FC Nordsjaelland vs FC St. Gallen prediction.
St. Gallen have had a good week too, with a 3-1 UEFA Conference League qualifying win at Sheriff on Thursday followed by a 2-2 Super League draw with Luzern and a 5-1 UEFA Conference League qualifying second-leg win over the same opponent.
Nordsjaelland are the value
St. Gallen have been more entertaining, with 3 goals from Andrin Hunziker in just 2 UEFA Conference League qualification matches making him their biggest threat to date, while Villum Berthelsen has been FCN's sharpest finisher, with 3 in 3 in the same competition.
Enrico Maassen has St. Gallen set up in a flexible 3-1-4-2 or 3-5-2, which sees the Swiss Super League side play with wing-backs and 2 strikers. FCN like to play on the front foot, with the Danish side bossing the ball, so the setup should see the home side dominate territory and the visitors counter attack.
Nordsjaelland have won 4 straight games heading into this one and are the sharper team at this moment in time. FC Nordsjaelland vs FC St. Gallen prediction suggests they have kept things pretty tight at home across all competitions, with just 3 goals conceded in 5 games for a 0.60 goals-against average. St. Gallen have been far more open on the road, conceding 14 in 5, so a tight home win for Nordsjaelland is the most likely outcome here, although the Swiss side do have enough of a goal threat to make this competitive.
