Benfica have started the season in excellent form, remaining unbeaten across all competitions (7W, 1D). They sit fourth in the league table with nine points from their first three matches and still have a game in hand. Their balance has been remarkable, scoring nine goals while conceding just once, showcasing strength both in attack and defense.
At home, Benfica have looked particularly dominant. They’ve won all three matches at the Estádio da Luz, scoring six goals and keeping three consecutive clean sheets. This consistency highlights a team brimming with confidence and rhythm. With Bruno Lage and his staff building momentum, Benfica will be eager to carry this winning form forward after the international break.
Santa Clara, meanwhile, are struggling to find their footing. Their biggest problem lies in the final third, as goals have been hard to come by. Pressure is already mounting on coach Vasco Matos and his staff to address these weaknesses before poor results begin to shape the team’s long-term outlook.
The historical record doesn’t favor Santa Clara either. They have lost each of their last nine meetings with Benfica, with their last victory dating back to 2020, a thrilling 4-3 win. Since then, the gap in quality between the two sides has only widened, making this fixture an uphill battle for the visitors.
Benfica are overwhelming favorites here. Their unbeaten run, combined with Santa Clara’s struggles for consistency, suggests a straightforward outcome. Benfica also boast a strong head-to-head record, winning eight and drawing one of their last nine encounters with Santa Clara.
A clean sheet for the hosts looks likely as well. Santa Clara continue to struggle in attack, while Benfica’s defense has already kept two clean sheets in three league games. History backs this up too, with Benfica shutting out Santa Clara in four of their last five meetings.
That said, this may not be a high-scoring affair. Despite their superiority, Benfica have averaged just 1.6 goals per game this season, while Santa Clara’s matches have averaged 1.3. A low-margin Benfica win, built on defensive solidity and controlled dominance, seems the most probable outcome.
