Preview

Match preview

Mafra host Santa Clara in the Round of 64 of the Taça de Portugal, looking to make home advantage count in knockout competition. The hosts enter the contest following consecutive 2-2 home draws against Tirsense and CF Os Belenenses, showcasing capability in attack while struggling to maintain defensive solidity.

Santa Clara arrive with positive momentum, having put together an unbeaten five-match sequence featuring three wins and two draws. Their recent stability has been built on strong defensive organization, conceding just two goals across those five games and securing clean sheets against SC Braga, Rio Ave, and Casa Pia.

The head-to-head record between these sides stands level at one win apiece from their two meetings in 2024, with Santa Clara taking a 2-0 away victory in the most recent encounter.
