They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 20 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for this competition there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

The Santa Clara team comes to this 21st round of the championship in a relaxed way in relation to the goal of the maintenance, by the advantage of 12 points that they have, at this time, from the places of descent. In a sequence with several negative results, João Henriques' team responded with three consecutive victories in the championship, against Famalicão (1-0), Paços de Ferreira (2-1) and Belenenses (2-0). In the last round, the Azorean team added three more points, when visiting the Estádio Nacional do Jamor, in a match where, through their defensive organization, they managed to stop Belenenses' offensive maneuver. It took to Santa Clara just four minutes to build the advantage of two goals in the final stretch of the first half. The Brazilians Guilherme Schettine and Carlos Júnior were the service markers, taking advantage of two defensive failures of the opponent in the best way.
