HTH
Benfica have been far too good for Santa Clara, leading 18-1 alongside three draws.
Strong Start for Santa Clara
Santa Clara are flying high in Liga Portugal, one of two teams yet to be beaten. They beat Famalicao at home and earned a deserved 0-0 draw against Braga.
Petit’s side have been just as effective on the road, winning at Viseu, Arouca and Casa Pia.
The Azores club suffered a shock exit at Mafra in the Portuguese Cup. Djé Tavares opened the scoring but was sent off before half-time, the hosts equalising in added time and scoring again in extra time to earn a 3-2 victory.
Benfica in Fine Form
Benfica are in fantastic form having won 11 of their previous 12 matches. The only slip up came at Porto where they lost 3-1 following Clément Lenglet’s red card.
The Eagles are coming off two victories in the Europa League. Jhon Durán started and scored two goals and Vangelis Pavlidis came off the bench to wrap up a 4-1 win against Celtic.
Marco Silva’s side went to Cyprus and won 4-1 at Omonia Nicosia. Pavlidis scored again before late goals to Fredrik Aursnes and Gianluca Prestianni secured a comfortable three points, ending with 64% possession and 23-7 shots.

“The player knows we're happy with him, and we know the talent we have in-house to work with. Claudio has to continue working hard. We don't usually make decisions based on just one month, two months, or two or three games.”
