Where to Watch

The Primeira Liga clash between CD Santa Clara and Sport Lisboa e Benfica is scheduled soon.

The Azores host a genuine top-four duel in round 9: unbeaten Santa Clara, fourth on 18 points with just 4 goals conceded, welcome second-placed Benfica and their 24-goal attack. The visitors are favourites on quality, but they have not faced a defence this stingy away from Lisbon. Expect a low-scoring, nervy affair that Benfica should still win by the odd goal.

Analysis

Santa Clara are one of the stories of the season: unbeaten in their last five league games (3 wins, 2 draws), fourth in the table on 18 points from eight matches and with only 4 goals conceded, the meanest defensive record in the division. The 4-0 home demolition of Rio Ave and the 0-0 against Braga show they can both score heavily and strangle a game in the Azores. Benfica sit second on 19 points with the league's most productive attack (24 goals), having won four of their last five, the only blemish a 3-1 defeat at Porto, while the 3-0 at Maritimo proves they travel well. The gap in squad depth and attacking volume still points to the visitors, but the hosts' defensive solidity should keep this tight rather than comfortable. We expect Benfica to edge it with Santa Clara getting on the scoresheet.

Prediction FAQ

What is the predicted score for Santa Clara vs Benfica?
We predict 1-2 to Benfica. The visitors have scored 24 goals in eight games, but Santa Clara have conceded only 4 all season, so a narrow away win is the most likely shape of the match.
Will there be over 2.5 goals?
It is close to a coin flip at 54 percent. Benfica's attacking output pushes it over the line, but Santa Clara have kept things very tight at home, including a 0-0 against Braga.
Can Santa Clara really take points off Benfica?
Yes, it is a live possibility. They are unbeaten in five with three wins, sit just one point behind Benfica on 18, and we give the hosts a combined 48 percent chance of avoiding defeat.

Head to Head

No head-to-head data was supplied for this fixture, so our read leans entirely on current form and the standings. What the numbers do say is that Santa Clara have not been beaten in their last five league outings, while Benfica's only slip in that stretch was the 3-1 at Porto. On recent evidence this is a meeting between the league's tightest defence and its most prolific attack.
