Betting suggestion:

Preview
Santa Clara and Benfica meet at Estádio de São Miguel, in a match for the 11th round of the Primeira Liga. In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 18‑05‑2019 and ended in a (4‑1) win by Benfica, and the latest on 11‑01‑2019, which ended in a (0‑2) win by Benfica. Santa Clara registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Santa Clara

After 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, the home team is in the 8th position, havinf won 13 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Portimonense by (1‑1), after in the previous match they have tied (1‑1) at home, against Vitória Setúbal. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the league, Santa Clara won 8 points out of 15 possible points, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 home matches.

They haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 10 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Santa Clara has had a very balanced championship so far, proving to be one of the hardest teams to beat in the NOS League, especially due to the defensive efficiency that has characterized João Henriques's team. Nevertheless, the Azoreans have not won in three consecutive matches, having tied in the last matchday of the trip to the ground of Portimonense, by 1-1, in a match where the increase in the performance during the second half was noticeable. Santa Clara suffered in the first half and only reached the equalizer due to the strong pressure exerted in the last minutes, already in discounts, with the help of an own goal by the Algarve's team. In the previous round, the islanders had tied against Vitória de Setúbal, for the same result.

Confirmed Lineup: Marco Pereira, Rafael Ramos, César Martins, Zaidu Sanusi, João Afonso, Francisco Ramos, Osama Rashid, Nené, Zé Manuel, Thiago Santana, Carlos.
Coach: Nuno Campos.

Analysis Benfica

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 27 points won, after 9 wins and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Portimonense, by (4‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Rio Ave, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins and 4 losses in away matches, with 37 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 41 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away loss against Olympique Lyonnais by (3‑1).

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last away matches. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 2 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 8 of the last 10 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in front in 6 of those 8 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'.

Benfica continues with a very consistent walk in the Portuguese League, where they lead by two points ahead of FC Porto, and have the best offensive and defensive record of the 18 teams. Bruno Lage's team, however, goes to the game following a negative result in the Champions League, where they lost last Tuesday against Lyon (3-1). With this defeat, the "eagles" see the future in the highly committed "Champions", as well as have interrupted the cycle of five consecutive victories, where the last victim was Rio Ave, a week ago. A match where Benfica won by 2-0 and presented with an exhibition level much closer to what Lage - and also the red fans - want.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, André Almeida, Álex Grimaldo, Rúben Dias, Jardel, Franco Cervi, Gabriel Pires, Florentino Luís, Chiquinho, Pizzi, Haris Seferović.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
