Swansea vs St Gallen betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Swansea started their Europa League campaign with a surprising victory in Valencia as they won with the score of 3:0, although most of the people didn’t give them much chances of staying undefeated in the Europa League opener. However, exclusion of Valencia’s player Ramy in tenth minute determined the rest of the match as Wilfried scored the winning goal in fifteenth minute, while de Guzman and Michu added two more goals in the second half-time."
It was a unexpected victory for them and surely have boosted their morale in front of next tough matches, as the team continued later on with a 2:0 victory away to Crystal Palace. However, they were defeated in a Capital One Cup match against Birmingham on the road later on with the score of 3:1, as coach Laudrup rotated his squad a little. Finally, they are coming from a 1:2 defeat at home against in-form Arsenal last weekend, while their target remains winning this game and making a decisive step towards the qualification to the next phase. Defender Williams continued to be out as he picked up an injury in a match against Liverpool and played only once since then (against Crystal Palace). Hernandez and Monk continues to be out too, while Angel Rangel is doubtful for tonight’s game.
St Gallen, on the other side, is also coming from a surprising victory in the first round of Europa League as they managed to win over Kuban 2:0 at home in the competition opener in a much easier manner than anyone could have predicted. No doubt that their good start increased their target as the team would like to progress to the next stage and will look to stay undefeated while visiting Swansea.
It has to be said that they are in a very good form at the moment, being without defeat in last twelve official matches as the team currently stands at fourth position in the domestic league with a 4-3-2 record and are four points below first placed Basel. They are coming from a 1:0 narrow victory on the road against Grasshoppers in one of the most interesting matches of the round, as they were also a bit lucky not to concede during the game. Visitors are coming without couple of players who didn’t even perform this season, while they will be also without attackers Cavusevic and Lehmann who are also already longer term injured.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Swansea’s last three games in UEFA Europa League.
Even if coach Laudrup chooses to rest a few players, Swansea still has great quality in comparison to their visitors and it will be really big surprise if the Swiss side manages to stay undefeated once again. English side should prevail in a similar fashion to their first round game.
Bet: Swansea -1 Asian handicap
