Win for Benfica
It has been an even race between Benfica and Sporting CP over the last few seasons with teams managing three victories each in the last six meetings. The two outfits have done very well so far this season but it is Benfica who are back in the favourite position for winning the league title. Sporting CP are fighting to get into the top two positions and the loss against Maritimo will be a huge blow to the confidence.
Total goals over 2.5
Even though Sporting CP were unable to breach Maritimo’s defence in the recent match and ended up suffering a defeat, they have generally done very well in the offensive areas. The likelihood of witnessing plentiful goals in this match is quite high.
Both teams to score – yes
The last two matches for Benfica have produced clean sheets but the defence is likely to be threatened a lot further when they go up against Sporting CP. Ruben Amorim’s team have done quite well in the final third and they are among the top scorers in the league with 29 goals from the 15 matches.
