ANALYSIS SPORTING CP - BENFICA
| Sporting has no game with no goal scored in the league this season
| Benfica have not scored in just one game in the league this season
🏆 Sporting enters this derby with great confidence
Sporting Lisbon is the only team without a loss in the league. Sporting are 1st and have only 3 draws since the beginning of the season, as last week they beat Porto 2-1 first, and then Braga’s strong team for the League Cup. At the moment, Sporting is undoubtedly the most consistent and strongest team in Portugal and this is not only because of the results, but also because of the character and will to win that they demonstrate. Against Braga, for example, they won with a goal after the 90th minute and thus won the cup.
💯 For Benfica, winning this match would mean so much
Benfica made a very unpleasant draw with Nacional on Monday, which is why they are now 6 points behind Sporting and 2 behind Porto, not to mention the failure with Santa Clara before the derby with Porto. Benfica also had a match with the other local rival, Belenenses, this week for the Portuguese Cup, but some of the reserves were involved in this match. The Eagles have only 1 win in their last 4 league games, so if they don’t win now, even more so if they lose, their chances for the title will be minimal. This period for Benfica can be decisive for their season.
Sporting is a favorite at paper, but Benfica will be very eager to win
Expert view: Sporting Lisbon against Benfica is one of the biggest Portuguese derbies and the biggest local derby for sure. Sporting Lisbon fans have not seen their team triumph with the title since 2002. After 2002 in 6 seasons he finished 2nd, but that’s all. The Reds from the other side of Lisbon missed the trophy last season at the expense of Porto, so now they want to get it back. It seems that the derby will be very fierce and probably quite emotional. It can go in one direction, which is a cautious game and less risk, respectively, and not many goals, but we expect the opposite, namely aggression, incentive, fast football, and goals. Prediction – BTTS at 1.75.
