• Competition: Supercup Finals
• Date: 03.08.2024
• Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21:15 CEST
• Venue: Estádio Municipal de Aveiro (Aveiro)

When at the end of the 2022/23 season they finished as the 4th team in the Portuguese league table, no one could have expected that Sporting Lisbon would make a fantastic comeback in the following season and reach the championship title. Not just ordinary, but rather convincing titles with a 10-point advantage over the biggest rival Benfica and even 18 points more than Porto. This team has already played several matches in the preparatory period. Bilbao and Sevilla were defeated and drew with Royale Union SG. The first official match will be played against Porto, against whom they lost in the national cup last season. The battle for another trophy in the Portuguese Super Cup.

Porto failed to reach the Champions League last season, but will play directly in the group stage of the Europa League. They took the next season very seriously after the rather bad previous one, so they started preparations at the beginning of July. Since then, they have played 8 matches, and believe it or not, they have won all 8. The rivals were not too respectable, but it is not easy to win 8 times in a row, whether they were Austrian or Arab clubs. Everyone at the club is eagerly awaiting the big derby against Sporting.

Sporting vs Benfica pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Both big clubs will go into this first official match of the season with great motivation. The first trophy could give the wind at the back and make the season much easier at the very start. The duel is played on a neutral field, so no team will have the home field advantage. Porto played a lot more preparatory matches, but Sporting had stronger checks. What is noticeable about the club from Lisbon is that they play with a lot of offensive players, so they will certainly throw cards on the attack once again. Porto knows how to fight back, so this could easily be a match with a lot of goals. Over 2.5 goals is an excellent betting solution.
