Benfica and Sporting battle for the title in Portugal. Prediction, 10.05.25

Showdown in the Portuguese league

Published on 06.05.2025 00:05.

It could hardly be more exciting. The two top teams, Benfica Lisbon and Sporting Lisbon, meet in the derby with two match days to go and will probably decide the title between them. At the moment, both teams have exactly 78 points. Sporting are at the top of the table due to their slightly better goal difference. The visitors also narrowly won the first derby of the season, but Benfica now have home advantage. It is impossible to name a favorite in this match, especially as both teams are in good form and have won all of their last matches.

Benfica Lisbon do not want to be runners-up again

Last season, they had to settle for the runner-up title behind Sporting. This should not happen again this year. The team has it in its own hands with two matchdays to go, and in a direct clash in front of the home crowd. Benfica could therefore be a little hungrier and take advantage of their home strength. The Eagles have lost 14 of their 16 home games, with only one defeat coming at the start of the year against SC Braga (1:2). Since then, they have gone 7 home games in a row unbeaten, winning 6 of them. Their goal difference is also outstanding and stands at 51:11 goals. This makes them both the best defense and the best offense of all teams at home. With 78 points in their account, a win against Sporting would probably give them one foot in the championship. However, another top team awaits on the final matchday, SC Braga, against whom they have already lost this year. A possible win against Sporting would mean that a draw would be enough for them in this away game. Incidentally, it would be Benfica's 4th win in a row in the league.

The squad seems ready for the game

Coach Bruno Lage has largely been spared serious injuries in the squad this season. In Vangelis Pavlidis, they also have a reliable goalscorer in the team. The Greek has already scored 28 goals in all competitions this year, 18 of them in the league alone. The only players that coach Lage will probably have to do without are Alexander Bah, Manu Silva and Renato Sanches. However, suitable replacements have been found for all of these players in recent weeks.

Benfica Lisbon

System: 4-2-3-1.

Our safest recommendation: Both teams score YES

Sporting could defend its championship title

The visitors started the season as defending champions and although they lost their successful coach Ruben Amorim in the middle of the season, they are top of the table after 32 matchdays, but the championship race is far from decided. While Benfica absolutely need a win, Sporting would probably be perfectly happy with a draw away to the Eagles. Thanks to the goal difference, they would remain top of the table and have the easier game on the final matchday. Sporting, like their opponents, are in very good form and have even won their last 4 games in the league. They won their last away game 0:5 against Boavista Porto. They have only lost 2 games all season, one of them away from home. They are number 1 in the table with 11 wins, 4 draws and just one defeat. Their only away defeat came in December when they were beaten 2-1 by Moreirense. Since then, they have gone 9 games unbeaten, 4 of which ended in a draw.

Sporting has a good record in the derby

The last time this duel took place was almost 3 months ago. Back then, they met in the Allianz Cup and Benfica prevailed on penalties. However, that was Sporting's only defeat in the last five meetings. They have remained unbeaten on four occasions and won three, but all of their victories have come at home. They have not won the last 3 games at Benfica, but 2 of them ended in a draw. Also interesting: In 6 of the last 8 encounters, goals were scored by both sides.

System: 4-2-3-1.

Goals on both sides are to be expected - Our prediction

Predicting a win in such an evenly matched game is almost impossible. Ultimately, the championship title is at stake for both teams and a lot can happen in a game like this. Based on the last direct duels, we would place a bet on "Both teams score YES". However, we would still slightly favor Benfica in their own stadium and give a double chance 1/X.
