LiontipsSt. Gallen - Benfica: betting tip (cf 1.70) and bets on the Europa League match
Command Analysis
This season, the team took second place in the standings and won the Swiss Cup, which allowed them to qualify for the Europa League. In the final match for the trophy, Enrico Maassen's team defeated Lausanne Uschi (3:0). St. Gallen looked good in friendly matches and managed to score three wins in the last six games. In the last match, the green and white were defeated by English Norwich (0:3).
Last season, Benfica became the only team that did not suffer a single defeat, but at the same time failed to become the Portuguese champion. This is due to 11 draws and, as a result, third place in the standings and qualifying for the Europa League. After the end of the season, there was a change of coach and Marc Silva's team had two friendly meetings, in which they lost to Flamengo (1:2) and won against Spanish Villarreal (2:0). Let's see if the Portuguese grandee is ready to leave for Switzerland.

Tip and bets
According to the bookmakers, Benfica is the undisputed favorite in this meeting, but we will argue with them and give preference to St. Gallen. The hosts are in good playing shape (they won the Swiss Cup and became the second in the championship), but the Reds could not compete for gold medals, did not win any trophies and very often lost points with teams of a class below. Also on the side of the green-whites is the factor of their own field and the support of the fans. We believe that Maassen's team will be able to fight the Portuguese grandee and will not lose big.
The betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for St. Gallen with a coefficient of 1.70
