📏 Form Guide

DWWWWD 📈
Benfica haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 matches.
They have hit an aggregate of 14 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 6. Such a trend might not be carried forward here, of course.
Santa Clara
LDLWLW
Proving their involvement in action-packed matches, goals have been scored 22 times in the prior 6 games in which Santa Clara have played, making it a mean average of 3.67 goals each fixture. Their opponents have got 13 of this grand total.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Santa Clara:
- are winless against Benfica in games played away from home for the previous 2 matches in the league.
- have not won away from home in their last 11 league games. What a terrible run of away results.
👥 Head to head
Looking at their prior head to head clashes stretching back to 23/06/2020 tells us that Benfica have won 4 of these & Santa Clara 1, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 1.
There were also plenty of goals scored in those games, 23 in all at an average of 3.83 goals per match.
The previous league game between these sides was Primeira Liga match day 17 on 21/01/2023 which finished with the scoreline of Santa Clara 0-3 Benfica.
In that match, Santa Clara managed 33% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target.
Benfica had 14 shots at goal with 5 on target. Fredrik Aursnes (9'), Gonçalo Ramos (15') and Gonçalo Guedes (80') scored.
The match was refereed by Fábio Veríssimo.
🧠 Prediction
It does look like Santa Clara won’t be heavily backed to hit the back of the net at all against a Benfica outfit who should really dictate the terms of this match.
We are anticipating a very convincing 4-0 winning margin at least for Benfica when the referee blows the final whistle.
Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
