TIME OF TEAMS
Benfica started the 2025/26 season in large shape. The Portuguese capital team faces Santa Clara living the pack of three consecutive wins in the Portuguese Championship, in addition to the recent achievement of the Candido de Oliveira Super Cup against rival Sporting. The yield so far shows equilibrium: the attack shook the nets six times, averaging two goals per match, while the defense was only surpassed once. The scenario confirms the expectation of eagle favoritism at the Luz Stadium.
On the other hand, Santa Clara crosses a much more turbulent championship start. In four games, the team adds only one victory, a draw and two losses, numbers that reflect the difficulty of adapting to the rhythm of the competition. The offensive sector is the most worrying point: it was just a goal scored so far, which reinforces the creative limitation of the Azorean team.
