St Gallen vs Sheriff Prediction 13 August 2026
🔊 The second leg of the Conference League third qualifying round between Swiss side St. Gallen and Moldovan side Sheriff takes place on 13 August at Kybunpark in St. Gallen. After the Swiss side's convincing win in Tiraspol (3:1), the tie is all but over - Sheriff need to overturn a two-goal deficit away from home against a team that have lost just one of their last 12 matches at home. Nevertheless, Viktor Mikhailov's side will fight until the end.
Head-to-Head

Head-to-head statistics St Gallen - Sheriff
St. Gallen 1879 Team Overview
The Swiss club comes into the return leg in excellent spirits. After being eliminated from the Europa League (a 0:5 defeat to Benfica), the team switched focus to the Conference League and immediately showed their character, winning away at Sheriff. In the Swiss championship, after three rounds, St. Gallen sit in the upper part of the table. Their home form is particularly impressive, as the team have gone unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 matches at home.
Enrico Maaßen prefers a 3-5-2 system with active wide play and vertical football. St. Gallen's defence is not without its flaws - the hosts have conceded in 6 of their last 7 home matches, which gives Sheriff hope of scoring.

Sheriff Tiraspol Team Overview
The Moldovan giants, managed by Viktor Mikhailov, began their European campaign in the Europa League, where they got past Aluminii but were heavily beaten by Maccabi Tel Aviv (0:5 at home, 0:1 away) and dropped into the Conference League. In the first match against St. Gallen, the Tiraspol side conceded three goals in the second half and could only reply on the 89th minute. In the Moldovan championship, Sheriff are leading, but the level of the domestic league is no comparison to European competition.
Sheriff's key problem is their defence. In their last three European matches, the team have conceded nine goals. The first match against St. Gallen was a clear illustration of this problem. Against the Swiss side's quick attacks, the yellow-and-blacks' defence looked uncertain. The second half was particularly difficult, with the defence completely falling apart and conceding three goals in 30 minutes. The visitors will be forced to push forward in numbers, which will create space for St. Gallen's counter-attacks.

⭐ Editor's Pick
St. Gallen are the clear favourites in this tie, and their two-goal advantage makes Sheriff's position almost hopeless. However, the hosts concede regularly at home, and the visitors will be forced to attack from the first minutes in an attempt to turn things around. This creates conditions for open football with plenty of chances. Total over 2.5 goals came in in 11 of St. Gallen's last 12 matches, so we'll go with exactly this bet. Predicted score - 2:1.
