THE PREDICTION
This is a simply huge crunch match between two Lisbon rivals tussling at the top of the Primeira Liga table. With leaders, on goal difference, Porto likely going out ahead in the earlier Friday night match the stage will be set for a must-watch battle between two sides in insatiable form. Reigning champions Sporting Lisbon have won 11 matches in a row across all competitions to look the favourites for this contest but hosts Benfica have scored 13 goals in their last two league games. A stunning 6-1 victory over Sporting Braga here before the international break and a 0-7 romp at Belenenses last Saturday suggest taking this match to see over 2.5 goals is a solid place to start and possibly over 3.5 considering Sporting have scored 12 goals in their last four away games. It is always tempting to leave the result up to chance in these kinds of spectacles, so perhaps adding both teams to score to over 2.5 goals is the wise move here.
