Benfica - Santa Clara betting tips and odds

Best bookmaker online do not see past Benfica in this game and we wholeheartedly agree. The betting odds work largely in their favour and there is a good reason for it. Santa Clara will have extremely difficult time running away with anything from this match.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Santa Clara, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 10.00.

The $RESULT score we saw from Benfica in the last round against Portimonense might seem convincing, but it is important to remember how much the previous matchup favoured them. Still, an away win is always welcome.

Last round was rather disappointing for Santa Clara, who were favourites in a home game against Moreirense. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Santa Clara’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 0:0 draw was nothing to be proud about.

Benfica are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 11 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Monday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

With their most recent track record in mind, Santa Clara tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

The hosts likely have their eyes set at the first spot on the table, for which they’ll need 10 points. We’re already at round 29, though, so they’ll need to take every opportunity they can get. Thankfully, they should be able to walk away with 3 points this Monday.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Monday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
