    With a new manager in the dugout, Benfica will look to take a definitive step towards the league phase of the 2026-27 UEFA Europa League when they face St Gallen in the second qualifying round. St Gallen lost 3-0 to Norwich on Friday in their latest friendly, making it two defeats in a row after starting the preparatory campaign with back-to-back wins. The Swiss hosts have struggled at home lately, having finished last season with just one win from the last four competitive home games (D2, L1). St Gallen may be minnows in Europe, but their preparations are slightly ahead of Benfica. The Swiss hosts have played a couple of friendlies more.

      St. Gallen finished second in the Swiss Super League last season, posting a record of 17 wins, 9 draws, and 7 losses. They had an excellent home - field performance, with 10 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, which placed them third in terms of home results in the league. On the other hand, Benfica is a strong team from the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Last season, they achieved an unbeaten record of 23 wins and 11 draws, finishing third in the league. Their away - game performance was also quite stable, with 12 wins and 5 draws, showing a good balance between attack and defense. St. Gallen has shown a weak form in recent friendly matches. After starting with two consecutive wins, they've lost their last two games, being beaten by Lyon and Norwich. In these two defeats, they conceded a total of nine goals, indicating a porous defense. On the other hand, Benfica has achieved a record of one win and one loss in their recent two friendlies. Notably, they defeated La Liga side Villarreal in their l

      St. Gallen has been in decent form, winning 6, drawing 1, and losing 3 in their last 10 games. They've brought in a new foreign player, which might give them an edge in this match. On the other hand, Benfica has also won 6, drawn 3, and lost 1 in their last 10. However, their recent performances have been inconsistent. They lack good wingers, relying mainly on central penetration. Their forward line isn't particularly powerful, resulting in a relatively weak scoring ability. But they have a solid defense, usually conceding only one goal when they do. They're also quite good at getting points. Although Benfica has had more injuries recently and there's a difference in their recent scoring compared to St. Gallen, they're still on par with St. Gallen in many aspects. Despite St. Gallen having better paper strength, it's hard to predict which team will come out on top in this tough battle. St. Gallen has had an excellent run, winning 6, drawing 1, and losing 3 in their last 10 matches. The

      St. Gallen had an impressive performance last season, finishing fourth in the league and winning the Swiss Cup, which earned them their first-ever European competition qualification. Their coach, Masson, was even named the Swiss Super League's best coach of the season, thanks to his successful 3-4-3 formation. However, their pre - season form is a cause for concern. They suffered heavy defeats, losing 3 - 6 to Lyon and 0 - 3 to Norwich, conceding nine goals in total. This shows that their defense struggles under high - intensity pressure. In the latter part of the Swiss Super League, St. Gallen conceded nearly 1.8 goals per game. Now, they face Benfica, one of the most potent attacking teams in the Portuguese Primeira Liga. Adding to their woes, their key center - back, Fazli, is out long - term, and several rotation players have muscle injuries, leaving the defense short - handed. Playing at home in this first - leg encounter, St. Gallen will likely adopt a defensive strategy and look

    • Tromso and Hradec Kralove begin their UEFA Europa League qualifying campaign at the quarterfinal stage after receiving direct entry into this round, making the first leg an important opportunity to gain an early advantage. Tromso come into this tie after an impressive run that includes victories over HamKam 4-1, Valerenga 4-0 and Orgryte 4-1, while also drawing 0-0 with KFUM Oslo and 1-1 against Aalesund. Their attacking rhythm has been one of the standout features, with quick transitions and aggressive wing play consistently creating high-quality chances. European football is also familiar territory for the Norwegian club, having reached the Europa League group stage in both the 2005-06 and 2013-14 campaigns while regularly featuring in the qualifying rounds over the past two decades. That experience of managing two-legged European ties could prove valuable as they look to establish control in the opening leg.

    • FK Vojvodina and Ajax are set to lock horns in the first leg of the Europa Conference League second qualifying round at Karadorde Stadium. The Serbian outfit has faced this opponent twice in European competitions and lost both matches. The White-Reds finished as runners-up in the championship group last season in the Serbian SuperLiga. That earned them a spot in Europe's second-tier competition, but their run was short-lived. Head coach Miroslav Tanjga watched on the sidelines as his side lost 3-0 against Ferencvaros in the second leg of the first qualifying round (aggregate: 5-1 defeat). This saw them drop down to the Europa Conference League qualifiers for the first time since the 2024-25 edition.
