Goal Statistics

Benfica's defensive record is to be admired, M. Saraiva Da Silva's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Liga NOS outings. An average PG rating of 1.2 for CD Santa Clara makes sense in this context.

Benfica's forwards have been superb of late, finding the net twice or more in 3 consecutive Liga NOS matches. A PG of 2.0 suggests that run should continue on Monday evening.
