Sporting Lisbon vs Benfica Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Liga Portugal
by Joseph King | in Liga Portugal Prediction
Four days on from Sporting’s 4-3 aggregate victory over Benfica to advance to the Taça de Portugal final, the two sides lock horns in the Primeira Liga for a potential title-deciding clash. Leaders Sporting and second-place Benfica have separated themselves from the rest of the pack and are neck-and-neck with less than 10 games remaining in the season. Sporting hold a one point lead over Benfica and also have a game in hand advantage. This means a potential seven-point lead should Leões win here and convert their extra game. As such, Benfica may well feel their hopes of repeating as champions rest on taking all three points from this fixture.

Sporting Lisbon - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis
Sporting kept their dreams of a double alive earlier in the week after a 2-2 home draw earned them the aggregate victory over Benfica in the Taca de Portugal semis. It was a strong way to respond following their round of 16 elimination to Atalanta in the Europa League three weeks ago. In fact, that 2-1 loss to the Italian side was Sporting’s only defeat in their last 15 matches across all competitions. Ruben Amorim’s side have been on an absolute tear in the Primeira Liga, posting a 12-1-0 record in their last 13 fixtures. In total, the Lions are 22-2-2 in the domestic league which is accompanied by a division-high +51 goal differential. Sporting will also have the advantage of playing this match at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, where they have a perfect 13-0-0 record in the league and a 19-1-1 record across all competitions.
Benfica have their backs against the wall and know they will likely have to take all three points here if they are to defend their title. Unlike their opponents today, Benfica were able to progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League and will feel they have an excellent chance at reaching the semis. That could play a role in this fixture as the Eagles’ will host Marseille for the first leg immediately following this game. The aforementioned 2-2 away draw with Sporting snapped a four game winning streak but extended the team’s unbeaten run to six matches as well. Benfica are 9-2-2 away from home in the league this season with 24 goals scored and 15 allowed.

Sporting Lisbon & Benfica Lisbon Squad Analysis
The big news around the Sporting camp is the status of star attacking midfielder Pedro Goncalves. The 25-year-old has missed the last three games after coming off injured in the first half of Sporting’s 2-1 away defeat to Atalanta. The hosts will miss Goncalves’ creativity and directness as he currently leads the team in assists with 10 while also chipping in nine goals in 24 league appearances. Sporting will also be without starting goalkeeper Adan who has been out since 25 February with a muscle injury.
Benfica manager Roger Schmidt does not have any injury problems to worry about in his squad and will have the full selection available to him. Their star players this season have been Rafa Silva, who has 19 goals and 14 assists across all competitions, as well as the ageless wonder Angel Di Maria who has 15 goals and 12 assists in 41 appearances.
