Benfica have the chance to join Porto at the Primeira Liga summit when they host Santa Clara in the league. Heading into this match, they are fourth on nine points, and Santa Clara are ninth on four. Read on for our match prediction.
At these early stages of the season, Benfica have had a powerful run, winning seven of their first eight games. This run is only spoiled by the 0-0 draw with Fenerbahce in the Champions League.
The Eagles have only conceded one goal so far, that coming in the latest outing, a 2-1 win at Alverca. In that game, Benfica were reduced to 10 men after Amar Dedic’s 70th minute red card.
Santa Clara won their first league game of the season before packing up for the international break. They beat Estoril 1-0, with Gabriel Silva scoring from the penalty spot.
That is their only goal in the league so far, having drawn 0-0 with Estrela after earlier defeats to Moreirense and Famalicao. While they may want to build on the four points from the last two matches, Benfica hold a solid run against Santa Clara.
In the last eight matches between them, Santa Clara lost. The visitors have only one win in the last 10 meetings with Benfica and failed to score in four of the last five.

Our Benfica Lisbon vs Santa Clara Prediction
So far this season Benfica seem to worry more about suspensions than the prospect of losing matches. They’ve had more players sent off (2) than the goals they’ve conceded. Coming into this game, and with their previous numbers against Santa Clara, Benfica should record another easy win.
The hosts are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions and won all the latest eight meetings with Santa Clara. They have done well defensively too, and our prediction for Benfica v Santa Clara is for Benfica to win to nil.
