- 本菲卡在本赛季的八场比赛中保持了七场零失球，只丢了一个球
- 老鹰队已经打了25场比赛，90分钟内没有输球
- 圣克拉拉队在最近七场比赛中只赢了一场
本菲卡有望再次轻松获胜
上赛季，本菲卡队在最后一天与布拉加队战平，并在里斯本竞技队获胜，这让本菲卡失去了普里梅拉联赛冠军，但这次他们取得了自2022-23赛季以来的第一个冠军，以6比1的总比分赢得了前三场联赛。
这对任何在俱乐部世界杯上观看他们的人来说都不奇怪，他们在小组赛中击败了拜仁慕尼黑，并在16强中以加时赛的成绩击败了最终获胜的切尔西，本赛季他们在各个方面都表现出色。
老鹰队在所有比赛的八场比赛中只丢了一个球，周五主场迎战圣克拉拉时，他们有望在本场比赛中保持八场零失球。
圣克拉拉在里斯本可能会被击败
本菲卡的普里梅拉联赛不败纪录现在为18场比赛，其中包括15场胜利，因此很难想象圣克拉拉队上个月被三叶草流浪者队淘汰出联盟，给追逐冠军的老鹰队带来任何真正的问题。
更糟糕的是，客队在过去的七场比赛中只进了两个球，在其中五场比赛中一败涂地，主场零比零的胜利看起来是一场聪明的比赛。
- Benfica have kept seven clean sheets in eight matches this season, conceding just one goal
- The Eagles have gone 25 games without losing within 90 minutes
- Santa Clara have won just one of their last seven matches
Benfica bound for another comfortable win
A final-day draw with Braga and a Sporting win cost Benfica the Primeira Liga title last season but they have made a great start to landing a first title since the 2022-23 campaign this time around, winning their opening three league games by an aggregate 6-1 score.
That should come as no surprise to anybody who watched them at the Club World Cup, where they beat Bayern Munich in the group stage and took eventual winners Chelsea to extra-time in the last 16, and they have been excellent on all fronts this season.
The Eagles have conceded just one goal in their eight games across all competitions and look set for an eight clean sheet of the campaign when they host Santa Clara on Friday.
Santa Clara could be outclassed in Lisbon
Benfica’s Primeira Liga unbeaten streak now stands at 18 games and includes 15 wins, so it is hard to envisage a Santa Clara side who were last month knocked out of the Conference League by Shamrock Rovers causing the title-chasing Eagles any real issues.
To make matters worse, the visitors have scored just two goals in their last seven games, blanking in five of those fixtures, and a home win to nil looks the smart punting play.
