Goal Statistics

With a PG of just 0.7, CD Santa Clara look set to struggle here. Add in the fact that Benfica haven't conceded a goal in 3 consecutive Liga NOS matches, and it could be a long evening for V. Lopes Matos's men.

Benfica's fans will be hoping for goals on Friday evening, not least because CD Santa Clara have conceded in each of their last 5 Liga NOS outings. A PG of 1.7 for José Mourinho's side suggests that run should continue.
