The qualification quarter-finals of the Europa League conclude in Portugal this Thursday, as Benfica need to redress their away leg by welcoming the Swiss St Gallen to Estádio da Luz in the capital. There may be more weight in Both Teams to Score than the early odds offer.
The dominance in possession proved ineffective for the Portuguese team, with St Gallen being more creative in the final third and in turn more clinical with their chances in front of a home crowd. Both created a decent number of chances, with a combined 31 goal attempts witnessed.
The pair entered half time on a level one goal each, but thanks to a late goal by Tom Gaal, Espen pinched the 2-1 advantage. Benfica will undoubtedly push forward a lot, being the team most in need of a result, thus the visiting side should encounter more chances to build on those in their fantastic leg.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs St. Gallen Prediction
As well as their two goals put past As Aguiás in the first leg, St Gallen seem to have nailed down their attack when traveling to other venues. They scored three goals, as well as allowing six, in their last outings in a friendly against Lyon, whilst they also have found the net in 17 away games on the bounce, not failing to score since back in November, which is an impressive streak.
Unfortunately, the hosts cannot afford to sit back or a low-key win, which should indicate plenty of pushing forwards, and this isn’t ideal when facing a team known for thriving on the road. Above all, looking at their performances when the two met previously, this should be a game full of chances, so much so that both teams scoring is more likely than the early lines reflect.
