THE PREDICTION
An unbeaten run looks like it will come to an end for one team here but with Sporting Lisbon yet to lose a Primeira Liga match this season it looks more likely to be Benfica’s with three draws from their last five league games. The visitors are on an eight-match unbeaten streak and will be more than up for this Lisbon derby but 1-1 draws with Santa Clara, Nacional and Porto this month suggest they will struggle to out-score their rivals. Benfica have won the last three editions of this historic fixture by an astounding aggregate of 9-1 but recent form suggests it will be much closer this time. For want of a tricky result, draw no bet in favour of the hosts should cover for what could well end up another feisty score-draw, so combine that with both teams to find the net in what should be a thrilling game.
