Sporting vs Benfica Betting Tips

Sporting is doing fine in general, however, they recorded some unexpected losses this season. In total they so far had 9 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats, so they are currently sitting in the 4th place on 29 points. In their league clashes this season, they scored 28 while conceding 18 goals, moreover, they netted one or more of them in all their last 20 home meetings, so I believe that they'll score in this affair.

The defending champion Benfica is doing great in yet another season of the top flight. They are currently on an amazing thirteen-game undefeated streak in all competitions. In their league games, they so far had 15 victories and just 1 defeat, so they are 4 points clear at the top. They are the best scoring team in the league, they netted 40 while allowing 6 goals in the previous 16 rounds, so it's more than obvious that we should see them net some goals.

This will be the 308th time that these two clubs meet in the historical Derby de Lisboa, and I'm expecting to see another fiery game between them. In their last 5 H2H clashes, Benfica triumphed 3 times, Sporting won once, while one match ended in a draw. The visitors are a stronger team, moreover, they are in a better form, so I believe that this tight clash will end with their victory.
