Benfica – FC ST. Gallen

In 2 meetings between Benfica and FC ST. Gallen, Benfica have been the more successful side, winning 1 to 1 with 0 draws along the way. The record leans firmly in one direction, but in a rivalry like this one head-to-head form rarely tells the full story once the game kicks off. The numbers suggest an entertaining watch: 4 goals per match on average, 100% of encounters going beyond two and a half, and both teams scoring in 50% of them. The pattern has been fairly consistent across the sample above. Where the game is played has mattered. Benfica hold 1-0-0 as hosts in this fixture, and FC ST. Gallen show 1-0-0 at home, underlining how much home comfort can tilt an otherwise close rivalry one way or the other. Current form reads clearly enough: Benfica have 4 wins in their last 5, scoring 2.6 each time out, and FC ST. Gallen have 2 from 5, netting 2 on average. Momentum like that can quickly override what the historical numbers suggest. Taken together, the split works out at roughly 50% for Benfica, 0% drawn and 50% for FC ST. Gallen. It is the kind of record that rewards the favourite more often than not, without ever making the outcome a certainty. The last time these teams met, on 30.07.2026, the game ended Benfica 5–0 FC ST. Gallen, and that scoreline still shapes how the fixture is viewed. A new date is yet to be confirmed, leaving that result as the freshest reference point.
