📊 Match recap and data context

St. Gallen upset Benfica 2-1 in the Europa League, a result that caught our model off guard. Our AI engine favored Benfica at 51% probability, but the Swiss side's recent form proved decisive; St. Gallen arrived unbeaten in five matches and delivered again. Both teams had scored in all their last five outings, and that pattern held true here. The upset marked St. Gallen's first win over Benfica in their limited head-to-head record.
