Benfica Form


Benfica have won seven of their last eight matches since Bruno Lage replaced Roger Schmidt. The run included two victories in the Champions League, 2-1 win at Red Star Belgrade and 4-0 against Atletico Madrid.

The Eagles were too good for fourth division club Pevidem in the Portuguese Cup. Jan-Niklas Beste scored both goals in a 2-0 win in Moreira de Conegos.

The Lisbon club suffered a 3-1 defeat against Feyenoord in the Champions League. Down 2-0 at half-time, Kerem Akturkoglu scored to get them back in the contest before conceding again in added time.

Benfica returned to the Primeira Liga with a convincing 5-0 win against Rio Ave. Akturkoglu scored the opening three goals with substitutes Andreas Schjelderup and Zeki Amdouni completing the rout.

Benfica Injuries & Team News


Winger Tiago Gouveia remains out with a shoulder injury.

Midfielder Leandro Barreiro and winger Gianluca Prestianni are doubtful.

Arthur Cabral and Zeki Amdouni are in contention to replace Vangelis Pavlidis up front.

Santa Clara Form


Santa Clara are playing well in the Primeira Liga after earning automatic promotion last season. They have won six of their nine games to sit fourth on the table.

Vasco Matos’ side have taken on two of the big three, a 2-0 loss against Porto and 4-1 defeat at Benfica.

The Azores club won 1-0 at Gondomar to progress in the Portuguese Cup. Gabriel Silva came off the bench to score a late winner and continue his strong start to the season.

Santa Clara returned to the Primeira Liga with a 2-1 win against Gil Vicente. Gabriel Silva hit the woodwork in the opening minute before providing assists for Sidney Lima and Diogo Calila.

Santa Clara Injuries & Team News


Centre-back Pedro Pacheco is out with a knee injury.

Brazilian striker Alisson Safira could return to the starting side here.

Verdict

Benfica regularly beat Santa Clara and should have few problems winning again in the League Cup. The Eagles beat the Azorean club 4-1 in September and can repeat the feat in the quarter-finals.
