Benfica vs Sporting CP Prediction (05.12.2025)

The derby between Benfica and Sporting comes at a time when both teams are showing clear signs of discipline in their play. Sporting maintain high intensity and stable play, conceding only two goals in their last five matches, while Benfica seem to have found their rhythm again after some wavering. The series of five consecutive head-to-head matches between the two teams with under 2.5 goals further suggests a clash where the focus will be more on positioning than on risks.

Sporting impress with consistency, including a convincing win over Estrela and their effective away games, while Benfica alternate strong offensive displays with moments of instability. They showed good attacking play in their victories over Nacional and Ajax, but this does not erase the fact that they often face more difficulties against more organized opponents.

Both teams perform quite well in defense, and the statistics from their recent encounters indicate a match where goals are likely to be few. Often, these meetings end without a winner, and the current situation seems suitable for something like that.
