Santa Clara vs Benfica Preview
Estadio de Sao Miguel will host an eagerly-awaited Primeira Liga clash as Santa Clara look to extend their unbeaten start to the campaign. Petit’s men have gone eight league matches without defeat and followed up a solid run of performances with a 1-0 victory over Casa Pia. Talented midfielder Vasconcelos is pushing for a rare start after scoring the winner in that encounter, and there are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts. Santa Clara have been particularly solid at home, conceding just 0.50 goals per game, although they face a major test against one of Portugal’s strongest attacking sides.
Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in excellent form after a routine 2-0 win over Guimaraes, followed by emphatic 4-1 victories over Celtic and Omonia in the Europa League. The Lisbon Eagles have won nine of their last ten matches in all competitions and continue to score freely. Top scorer Vangelis Pavlidis is doubtful after picking up a knock against Omonia, but Marco Silva has enough attacking depth to cope with his potential absence. Benfica have averaged 2.83 goals per away game and have won four of their last five visits to Santa Clara.
Santa Clara’s defensive organisation could make life difficult for the visitors, but Benfica’s attacking firepower and outstanding form give them the edge. The Eagles have won 83% of their recent away matches, while 11 of the last 15 head-to-head meetings produced Over 2.5 goals, making Benfica to Win, over 1.5 goals and Benfica to score Over 1.5 goals the preferred betting tips.
