Benfica were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Sporting CP. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sporting CP's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Manager Roger Schmidt will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 30 of their 33 games this season and recorded 20 clean sheets.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 5 games.
On an individual basis, Gonçalo Ramos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 18 goals in Benfica's 33 league games this season.

Santa Clara will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Portimonense. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Portimonense had 4 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Supremo Danildo Accioly will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 28 of their 33 games.
Santa Clara will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 8 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 11 games.
Goalscorer Matheus Babi will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Santa Clara.
Benfica vs. Santa Clara Head to head
The last time these two teams met Benfica enforced their superiority over Santa Clara with a comfortable 0-3 win.
The Os Açoreanos defence has struggled against Benfica in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 games. Goals come easy for Santa Clara when they travel to As Águias, having recorded 6 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2 goals per match. In their recent meetings Santa Clara have struggled to keep As Águias at bay, having conceded 13 goals in their last 5 games.
Benfica will be looking to continue their winning streak against Santa Clara having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Santa Clara player Anderson Carvalho will be looking to cause Benfica some problems having scored 2 goals in the last 3 league meetings between the teams at Estádio da Luz.
With only Julian Draxler (Ankle) and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Roger Schmidt will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
