Benfica will be back in action on Thursday as we count down to the approaching Europa League Qualifiers clash versus St Gallen.
All St Gallen v Benfica match predictions, user poll and stats are shown below (plus the best game odds).
St Gallen, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-3 Swiss Cup victory vs Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.
For St Gallen, the scorers were Tom Gaal (8'), Lukas Görtler (65') and Christian Witzig (90').
Three or more goals per game were recorded in 5 of the past 6 fixtures where St Gallen have been involved. Opposition teams scored 7 of them in this period whereas St Gallen managed a tally of 11.
Benfica head into the meeting after a 1-3 Primeira Liga win with the defeat of Estoril in their last match.
In that game, Benfica had 52% possession and 19 shots at goal with 8 on target. For Benfica, goals were scored by Richard Ríos (7'), Alexander Bah (15') and Silva (16'). At the other end, Estoril got 16 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Peixinho (91') was the scorer for Estoril.
Benfica have been a threat going forward of late, having scored 15 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Benfica have had their own issues at the back, also conceding in 5 of those same outings. That kind of trend might not be sustained into this match, though.
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Benfica will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
At the other end, St Gallen could well find it tough getting goals but we do see them hitting back at some stage.
We reckon that it will be a comfortable 1-3 victory for Benfica by the conclusion of the game.
Turning to the betting odds on the 90 minute result market, a win for St Gallen is available for 6.5, betting on the draw is 4.5 and betting on the winning team to be Benfica is 1.38. These are the best of the returns that can be secured at this very moment.
