Santa Clara look to rebound after a narrow 1-0 defeat at Braga and given their fine home record, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 win. Os Acorianos have been strong at Estádio de Sao Miguel this season, winning 75% of their home games and scoring an average of 1.75 goals per match. Defensively, Santa Clara have conceded just 0.50 goals per home fixture and kept clean sheets in three of their last four matches at home. Both teams scoring has been rare for the hosts, occurring in only 25% of home games. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Arouca face a setback with defender Boris Popovic expected to miss out after picking up a knock in a 1-0 victory over Alverca. The visitors have struggled on the road, winning just 20% of away matches and conceding 3.00 goals per game while scoring 1.40. BTTS has occurred in 80% of their away matches, highlighting defensive fragility.
Given Santa Clara's strong home record and solid defence, Home Win is our main tip for this matchup, with additional value on Under 2.5 and Under 3.5 goals.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 21 December 2025 at 20:30.
