This is a Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie, and CheckLive's data has no favourite between Sheriff and FC St. Gallen 1879. With no win probability edge either way, the match is genuinely open, and a draw is a real possibility. A place in the next round is at stake.
Sheriff's recent results have been inconsistent: they lost 0-1 and 0-5 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, drew 0-0 with Milsami Orhei, and beat Petrocub 3-2 and Aluminij 1-0. St. Gallen won against Vaduz (3-2), Zürich (2-1) and Benfica (2-1), but also lost 0-5 to Benfica and 0-3 to Norwich City in a friendly.
The two sides have no previous meetings, so history offers no guide. With form so mixed, the key is which team handles the occasion better when the margins look tight.
