Benfica - Santa Clara betting tips and odds

Benfica should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Saturday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.30.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Santa Clara will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Benfica are coming off the back of a convincing 1:3 victory against Tondela in their last outing. Still, the odds were stacked in their favour on that away game, and this match might yet prove to be a similar affair as the biggest bookmakers expec them to stroll to victory.

Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, the 2:2 result isn’t too bad for Santa Clara. They were tied with Gil Vicente throughout the match.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Benfica are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
