Match preview

Our model sees little between the sides: Santa Clara 39%, the draw 27%, Benfica 34%.

Our fair price for "Home win" is 2.56 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.5 goals in total (1.28 for Santa Clara, 1.17 for Benfica), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Santa Clara sit 4th on 21 points; Benfica are 2nd on 22.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
