Sporting CP vs Benfica Prediction (29.12.2024)

On Sunday evening, Sporting will host Benfica at the "Estadio Jose Alvalade" in a clash that pits the two leaders in the Portuguese Primeira Liga against each other. The hosts will try to break the long streak without a win against Benfica, while the guests will look for a way to solidify their position at the top.

Benfica tops the table with 38 points and demonstrates exceptional stability, being unbeaten in their last 14 matches. The team secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Estoril in the previous round. Sporting, on the other hand, sits in second place with 37 points and is unbeaten at home in six out of their seven matches this season. However, the last draw 0-0 against Gil Vicente may be a sign of a decline in their offensive game.

Considering Benfica's impressive streak and their stable performance in away matches, it is logical to expect that they will avoid defeat in this key match. Although Sporting is a strong home team, Benfica has more balance in their squad.
