    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 sits in the upper - middle position in their domestic league, with a comfortable points situation and no pressure on the standings. The team shows excellent cohesion, and their lineup has achieved good synergy. In the last ten matches, they have 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, with a majority of undefeated games, indicating a stable performance on the field. At home, St. Gallen excels in ground - based passing and controlling play. They manage to minimize offensive and defensive errors. They usually adopt a 4 - 4 - 2 balanced formation, with a tactical style that combines stability and aggression. They rely on short - range consecutive passes in the middle and front - field to build up positional attacks, and use wingers to break through and create space on the flanks. On the defensive end, they have a well - coordinated compact defense, rarely conceding consecutive goals.

      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

    • 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.
