Sporting CP vs S.L. Benfica Prediction 29 February 2024
Added on 27 February, 2024
By the will of the draw, the Lisbon derby between Sporting and Benfica will take place in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup!
Prior to the match, Sporting drew a 3:3 fight with Rio Ave in the Primeira Liga, where they are currently second with a two-point gap from the leaders. The Lions still have a chance of triumph in the Cup. There they easily broke the resistance of Olivais (3:1), Dumiense (8:0), Tondela (4:0) and Leiria (3:0).
At the same time, Benfica dealt with Lusitania (4:1), Famalicao (2:0), Braga (3:2) and Vizela (2:1) - as we can see, the level of opposition the Eagles had was more serious. At the same time, they lead the standings of the national league, where last weekend they defeated Portimonense 4:0.
In recent years, the Lisbon derby has pleased us with high performance, which is not surprising, given the high attacking potential of the opponents. In our opinion, Sporting and Benfica will exchange precise shots in the reporting meeting.
