St. Gallen have scored twice in each of their last two matches, and one of those was against Benfica. The favorites have sworn to get their revenge in the second leg of their Europa League qualification round 2 tie, while Gallen need no further introductions. See why both teams should score in this Benfica vs St. Gallen match prediction.

Espen created four big chances in the first leg to Benfica's one, underlining just how much Gallen deserved the win. Aliou Balde struck on thirty-seven minutes and Tom Gaal added the winner on eighty. Enrico Maassen's side then beat Zurich 2-1 on Sunday with an almost unchanged team. They score, and they have already scored against this defense.

The Eagles, on the other hand, trail 2-1 and have to win at the Luz. Marco Silva's side had sixty-one per cent of the ball in Switzerland and still lost, so they will come forward harder at home. And this side chasing a tie at the Luz will not be short of chances.

The risk is that Benfica overwhelms them. Espen are into their third competitive match in eight days and could be forced deep for ninety minutes. But a Benfica side that has to chase leaves space behind, and the Eagles have already been caught twice by these opponents.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs St. Gallen Prediction

Both teams scored in the first leg, and St. Gallen have scored twice in each of their last two outings. What's more, the sheer number of their latest games to see the BTTS bet win is not to be overlooked, for Benfica especially, who have seen goals on both ends in eight of their last ten games.

It's three of four for Gallen, who have now also scored in ten of their last 12 games. Benfica must win by two to go through inside ninety minutes, which means committing men forward against a side that counters well. Hence, our Benfica vs St. Gallen match prediction is BTTS.
