Football Bet of the Day: Goals party in Portugal

Benfica B v Santa Clara
Wednesday 14:30

It was a happy Halloween for us, as Hull and Middlesbrough served up four goals to power us over the line with something to spare. Hull might disagree, of course, as most of those goals went to Boro, but we're in decent fettle as we head south for today's bet.

It's been a while since we graced the Portuguese second tier. Boy, it's good to be back. Ever since Helder Cristovao took charge three and a half years ago, Benfica B have been a reliable source of Over 2.5 Goals. At Caixa Futebol Campus more than 60% of their games (44/71) have been high scorers, including 4/5 this season. We're backing another one this afternoon.

While the hosts have scored at least twice in 4/5 on home turf, visiting Santa Clara have been just as prolific on the road. The Azoreans have notched twice or more in 4/5 away from home this season. Their most recent away day brought a 3-4 defeat at Sporting B and we fancy there'll be a few more fireworks at Benfica's reserves.
