With Sporting CP holding Porto to a 1-1 draw, Benfica are now just seven points off the top and can temporarily cut the gap to four when they visit Santa Clara. But it's going to be anything but easy with Santa Clara battling relegation at the bottom of the Liga Portugal. Can Benfica grab a necessary win, or will this be another stalemate? Let's get into this match prediction.
Anisio Cabral's late goal against Alverca secured the win for Benfica in their latest game, which in turn has kept The Eagles in the title conversations. Despite a number of disappointing performances, Mourinho's men still haven't tasted defeat in the league all season. In the league alone, Benfica has won six of its last eight games.
In sharp contrast, Santa Clara is struggling to even win games and is now winless in nine straight games. Their latest defeat to Estrela now marks four straight league defeats and six in their last eight games.
That poor run has not been without consequences as Santa Clara now occupies the relegation playoff zone, with just three points separating them and Tondela in the second-to-last position. But after holding Benfica to a 1-1 draw earlier this season on the road, Santa should feel somewhat confident in the second meeting at home.
