THE PREDICTION

It is Derby de Lisboa in the Portuguese Primeira Liga on Sunday evening as Benfica take on Sporting CP. Roger Schmidt’s defending champions Benfica come into this on the back of a continuation of their poor European form with a 3-1 defeat away to Real Sociedad in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. They have managed two wins in their last five matches across all competitions. They now face a Sporting CP side that, coached by Ruben Amorim, are sitting at the top-of-the-table with nine victories and a draw in their opening ten matches. Their 2-1 defeat of Rakow Czestochowa in midweek continued their good form. The thing is, though, that Benfica are the experienced and more cold blooded of the two, despite their general underperformance so far this season. The hosts remain good value, especially at Estadio da Luz.
