Our Sporting Lisbon vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction

Benfica will be outright favorites here, even though Sporting will not be pushovers. Benfica go to this game simply with the best form in Portugal and their away record in the league further boosts them. While they take on a side that has been doing well at home, Sporting have been on and off for most of the season. One factor that may work against them though is the fact that they have a porous defence and against Benfica this is very dangerous. Benfica have scored in 21 straight matches, have two leading scorers in the league and have scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 13 matches. On the other hand, Sporting have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches and also scored in each of their last 11 home matches. Though they will be the underdogs here, we expect them to hit the back of the net. We will thus go for both teams to score here, and a bet of over 2.5 goals will do.
