⚽ UEFA Europa League 2026-2027, qualification
🇵🇹 Benfica 🆚 St. Gallen 🇨🇭
📈 St. Gallen Handicap (+2.5)
📊 Odds 1.70
🔴 Benfica remains the clear favorite of the pair, but at the start of the season the Portuguese are still far from optimal conditions. Some of the leaders have only recently returned from a short vacation after the 2026 World Cup, so the team still needs time to gain competitive form. On the other hand, the Swiss championship has already started in St. Gallen, so the guests are in much better playing shape.
✅ Prediction: St. Gallen (+2.5). The difference in class is on the side of Benfica, but the Swiss must impose a fight and avoid a big defeat. Handicap +2.5 looks like a completely working option for this match.
