Santa Clara vs Académico Viseu, 24 January 2027, Primeira Liga: form, head-to-head and match facts

Santa Clara head into the clash at home perched in fourth place with 14 points from four wins and two draws, boasting a comfortable +7 goal difference after netting 11 times while conceding just four. Their rivals Académico Viseu sit seventh on eight points, having collected two victories and two stalemates but already suffered two defeats, and their -2 goal margin (seven for, nine against) underscores a more fragile defence. The gap of six points means Santa Clara will look to extend their unbeaten run and cement a top‑three push, while Viseu will need a slip‑up from the hosts to keep any hope of climbing into the European spots alive. Historically the two sides have exchanged blows evenly, adding an extra layer of intrigue to a fixture that could reshape the mid‑table battle.
