Sporting CP Benfica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Great “derby” in perspective, as Benfica will try to win their first “classic” of the season, although the season is practically resolved by the great disadvantage for the runner-up and comfort for the 4th place. On the Sporting side, it will be essential to win to maintain the belief in the already difficult objective of the title, so it is foreseen a match played with great competitive intensity from both sides, where both teams can show their offensive quality and can come to create good opportunities to score, in a match that should be full of strong emotions in Alvalade.

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history indicates total balance between these two teams, since there is a record of 2 draws and 2 wins for each team in the last 6 matches.

Analysis Sporting CP

After 23 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, the home team is in the 2nd position, havinf won 73 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Tondela by (1‑3), after in the previous match they have won (2‑0) at home, against Paços de Ferreira. For the league, Sporting CP won 27 points out of 30 possible points, after 9 wins and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches. In their home matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (9 out of 14 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (6 out of 14 matches). Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 14 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have been able to score first and have done so in 25 of the last 29 matches for the Primeira Liga, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 17 of those 25 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 21 of them. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 29 matches for this competition, but have been able to turn the score around in 2.

Sporting's team has been having a good level championship, although insufficient to keep up with the high voltage of rival FC Porto, so they come to this match late in the fight for the title, occupying the 2nd place of the classification table, with 73 points, nine above Benfica and six behind FC Porto. Without losing for six consecutive matches, where they only drew against Manchester City (in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, in the farewell of the “lions” of the millionaire competition), the team led by coach Ruben Amorim goes to a highly moralized game for the recent streak of four straight wins. In the last round, Sporting dominated and fully justified the sum of the three points in the visit to the distressed Tondela, by 1-3, with a triumph crowned with the goals of Gonçalo Inácio and Pablo Sarabia (bis the Spaniard).

Confirmed Lineup: Adán, Sebastián Coates, Gonçalo Bernardo Inácio, Luís Neto, Pedro Porro, João Palhinha, Pote, Matheus Nunes, Pablo Sarabia, Nuno Santos, Paulinho.
Coach: R. Amorim.

Analysis Benfica

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 64 points won, after 20 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Sporting Braga, by (3‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Belenenses, by (3‑1). In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away tie against Liverpool by (3‑3). In the last 10 away league matches Benfica has a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 20 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 10 of the last 14 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 29 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times but have turned the score around in 4. In the last 14 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Benfica's team has fallen far short of expectations in the Liga Portugal Bwin, where they were intended that they would at least fight again until the end for the title, reaching this 30th round in 3rd place in the league table, 15 points away of the leadership of FC Porto and nine of the vice-leadership of Sporting. The objective of direct access to the group stage of the Champions League is practically out of reach, as there are only 15 points left in dispute until the end of the championship. After winning with an interesting comeback in the reception to the “red lantern” Belenenses (3-1), in the last round of the Portuguese League, the pupils of coach Nélson Veríssimo (who will leave at the end of the season as the Reds' leadership) fell to their feet, last Wednesday, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, when they drew 3-3 with Liverpool at Anfield, after the 1-3 defeat at home, in the first leg of the tie.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Nicolás Otamendi, Álex Grimaldo, Gilberto, Jan Vertonghen, Diogo Gonçalves, Julian Weigl, Adel Taarabt, Gonçalo Ramos, Darwin Nuñez, Everton.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
