Benfica Santa Clara betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In a match where Benfica will be forced to win, in order to put pressure on the rival in the fight for the title, it’s expectable that Lisbon's "incarnates" will dominate operations most of the time and with sufficient quality to overcome the defensive barrier of the Azoreans. Santa Clara, for their part, should prioritize their defensive organization, but they are a team capable of dividing expenses and creating danger, both in transition and in dead balls, as well as in organized attack. Therefore, an interesting match is expectable, with some general scoring opportunities.
