      This is the first official meeting between the two teams, so there's no psychological edge from past encounters. St. Gallen had an excellent performance last season, finishing as runners - up in the Swiss Super League and winning the Swiss Cup, securing a rare European competition spot. Their home - ground atmosphere is electric. However, the team is facing a severe injury crisis. Midfielders Nziri and Wäber are out long - term, and defender Cyril Me cannot play. This has led to an obvious gap in midfield interception and offensive - defensive transitions. During the pre - season friendlies, they suffered heavy defeats against Lyon and Norwich. When facing high - intensity opponents, the flaws in their defense were exposed. Their only advantage is that the domestic season starts earlier for them. They have a better understanding of the game rhythm compared to their opponents. They mainly adopt a low - block counter - attacking strategy at home, relying on Götterer's play - making to

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.

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
