Prediction: Benfica wins
It's definitely a tricky game, considering Santa Clara is fighting to stay in the top-flight just as Benfica is fighting to win it. However, The Eagles are rightfully the favourites.
They've won six of their last eight games, while boasting the second-most goals and the second-most clean sheets. In contrast, Clara is on a downturn with four straight league defeats and the third-fewest goals this season. Hence, our Santa Clara vs Benfica Lisbon prediction is that Benfica wins.

| 2025/12/19 | Portuguese Cup | Santa Clara | 2-3 (HT 1-1 FT 2-3) | Sporting CP |
| 2025/12/16 | Primeira Liga | Sporting Braga | 1-0 (HT 1-0 FT 1-0) | Santa Clara |
| 2025/12/06 | Primeira Liga | Santa Clara | 1-0 (HT 1-0 FT 1-0) | Casa Pia AC |
In sharp contrast, Santa Clara is struggling to even win games and is now winless in nine straight games. Their latest defeat to Estrela now marks four straight league defeats and six in their last eight games.
That poor run has not been without consequences as Santa Clara now occupies the relegation playoff zone, with just three points separating them and Tondela in the second-to-last position. But after holding Benfica to a 1-1 draw earlier this season on the road, Santa should feel somewhat confident in the second meeting at home.
