Six goals, six different goal scorers, two penalties, a red card, three disallowed goals and 45,503 fans. Sunday’s Derby de Lisboa was certainly one of those games that will live long in the memory of those who were lucky enough to see it.
In the end, Benfica’s 4-2 victory over Sporting lifted the team to 2ndin the table. However, their attention now turns to the cup as they look to make their 37thfinal in the competition.
Bruno Lage’s side have won six from their last seven games in all competitions, scoring 18 goals in the process.
Sporting reached the final of this competition last season but fell at the last hurdle as they were beaten by first time winners, Desportivo das Aves. Marcel Keizer’s side will be looking to make their 29thfinal.
In terms of the recent head to head record, Benfica don’t tend to do that well when facing Sporting on home turf. In six previous derbies at the Estádio da Luz, Benfica have only won once.
With that in mind, the recommendation in this game is to go for the 11/10 double chance bet on either a Sporting win or a draw.
