Expected Goals (xG)

We mentioned earlier that Santa Clara averages 0.69 goals scored per match so far in this season’s competition. It is also important to note that the home team has an average of 0.99 expected goals per match, which means that it is expected to create some goal scoring opportunities in today’s match.

Os Encarnados is one of the most dangerous teams when it comes to taking advantage of goal scoring chances. They have 2.62 expected goals per match so far in the competition, and will be looking to make some damage in the opposition’s defence this time around.

Expected Goals Against (xGA)

The hosts of today’s match have a few strong points in the backline and have shown us some good defensive moments so far this season. The team averages 1.58 xGA so far this season, and will be motivated to show us that it is solid at the back.

The visitors need to keep their goal safe if they want to win all 3 points. So the xGA season average of 0.88 will need to be kept as close to 0 as possible for today’s match if Benfica wants all 3 points.
