Benfica Lisbon vs Santa Clara Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal
by Devesh Jaganath in Liga Portugal Predictions
Santa Clara will be aiming to continue their positive start to the 2024-25 Primeira Liga season when they travel to face Benfica on Saturday night. The Eagles were in seventh place heading into the international break while the Azoreans are two places ahead of their opponent in this match, Let’s dive into the prediction.
Benfica lost ground to Sporting Lisbon leading up to the international break after drawing 1-1 against a stubborn Moreirense, who were mere moments away from securing what would have been a famous victory.
The Eagles kicked off the season on a poor note as well, losing 2-0 to Famalicao before back-to-back home wins over Casa Pia and Estrela. They are currently five points behind the Lions at the summit.
Notably, Benfica’s loss and draw results this season were both away games, while at home, they are on a 13-match winning streak and unbeaten in their last 22.
Meanwhile, Santa Clara’s return to the top flight has gone about as well as they could have hoped, having notched up three wins in their first four games, beating Estoril, Casa Pia and AVS while losing to Porto.
Azoreans both away games this season have ended in victory and the side has scored eight goals so far - the second most of any side in the division behind Sporting Lisbon’s 12.
However, the visitors are now set to face an opponent that they have not beaten in their last six attempts, drawing once and losing five times, including a 3-0 defeat in the most recent encounter.

2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
