Benfica
SL Benfica have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
St. Gallen
St. Gallen have won 7, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 10 games in all competitions.
Head-to-Head
- Benfica's 2-0 home win over Villarreal CF was followed by a 2-1 defeat away to St. Gallen, a result which leaves the tie finely poised going into Thursday's home matchup.
- A home win is the clear pick here, but St. Gallen's 2-1 win in the reverse fixture is fresh in the memory and makes this anything but a sure bet for the Eagles.
Key Players
- Rafa Silva has 1 goal in 1 game in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 and has scored 4 of Benfica's 9 goals across all competitions in their last 5, so he's the danger man to watch.
- Aliou Balde has 1 goal in 1 game in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 for St. Gallen, and the striker looks sharp in big games.
Betting Insights
- The odds for this game are fairly set in stone, with Benfica coming in at 1.24 favourites, St. Gallen 5.6 and the draw 5.6.
- Both Teams to Score - No is at 1.55 and Under 2.5 goals is 2.18 at the time of writing, both of which seem great value.
Prediction
- Back Benfica to see off St. Gallen.
- Benfica have the home advantage and the bigger squad to make the changes needed to get the win if the game is a draw at full time.
