Match Preview & Team News
Sporting Lisbon are having much smoother campaign than the Eagles so far. The Golden Lions have collected 39 out of maximum 45 points so far, having four points advantage over 2nd placed Porto FC. Benfica are six points behind, so they will surely be under bigger pressure to win the derby. Recent results haven’t been that great for them though. Monday’s draw against Nacional at home surprised many. Read on our Primeira Liga betting tips and predictions below.
Current Form And Home & Away Performances
Sporting Lisbon warmed up for this big game with smooth performance and easy 2-0 victory against Boavista on the road. This same Boavista caused big upset by beating Benfica last month. Nuno Santos and Pedro Porro were goal scorers for Sporting. The Green and Whites have three wins in a row now, previously beating Sporting Braga and Porto in Taca de Portugal. Overall, this squad has shown the most of the big trio and we wouldn’t be surprised at all if they win the title. Defending has been phenomenal, conceding only nine goals in 15 matches, while having zero defeats.
Benfica have two defeats and they conceded 15 goals, so there is definitely a lot of room for improvement. Dropping points against bottom table teams became a common thing for Eagles this season. At least they are consistent when it comes to scoring, bagging at least one goal in every out of last seven duels.
Goals Markets Betting Preview
The Eagles have scored at least one goal against Sporting Lisbon in six out of last seven derby days. We don’t think nets will remain intact on Monday, so BTTS is probably the best option at 3/4 rate.
Betting Preview
Sporting Lisbon have already shown their quality by beating Porto FC and Sporting Braga in the last two weeks. Why not make it three in a row against inconsistent Benfica? We fancy the 8/5 odds offered on home win here.
