Today, Sporting and Benfica are squaring off. These teams are set to clash again at José Alvalade Stadium. T
Last season, Sporting finished 4th. They are presently topping the league table with an impressive 68 points. The team flaunts the best attacking record among all the other squads, having notched up 77 goals. In the latest round of the Portuguese Championship, they managed a narrow victory over Estrela.
They were league champions last season and for four years before that, they hovered around the 2nd and 3rd positions. At present, the club is stationed at the 2nd spot in the standings, only a slender point behind Sporting. In their latest match of the Portuguese Championship, they triumphed over Chaves, scoring the lone goal.
In their most recent clash this week, the teams shared the spoils, with each team scoring twice.
Both teams have been encountering each other rather often lately. However, Sporting have been showing slightly better form than Benfica. Crucially, they are playing on their home ground. I anticipate the hosts will emerge victorious over the guests once more, so my punt would be a win for them.
