Benfica Sporting CP betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Benfica should try to dominate ball possession, attacking in a more organized way, creating several chances to score goals. On the other hand, we expect a very dangerous Sporting on the counterattack, especially through Pablo Sarabia and Pedro Gonçalves. It should be noted that the last two games between these teams ended with goals in both goals. Taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the ''Both teams to score - Yes'' market is a good option.

Preview
Benfica and Sporting CP meet at Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa, in a match for this stage of the Taça da Liga (Final). The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours Benfica, since in the last 11 matches they won 6, tied 2 and lost 3. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 04‑12‑2021, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Sporting CP.

Analysis Benfica

They come to this stage of the Taça da Liga (Final) after having eliminated Boavista with a draw by (1‑1), after extended time, in the previous round. In the last 10 matches Benfica has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Benfica comes to this match with a victory, in the penalties, against Boavista, counting for the semi-final of the League Cup. Commander Nélson Veríssimo should keep the team in 4-3-3, favoring the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the left: Everton is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to the attack. In addition to the quality of this player, we highlight the quality of the passing and game vision of midfielder João Mário. For this game, the red mister does not have Luca Veríssimo, Haris Seferovic and Rodrigo Pinho, injured, as well as Rafa Silva, who is in quarantine. In addition to these players, Darwin Núñez and Nicolás Otamendi are at the service of the national team.

Confirmed Lineup: Odysseas Vlachodimos, Morato, Jan Vertonghen, Álex Grimaldo, Julian Weigl, Soualiho Meïté, Diogo Gonçalves, Valentino Lazaro, João Mário, Everton, Roman Yaremchuk.
Coach: R. Schmidt.

Analysis Sporting CP

They come to this stage of the Taça da Liga (Final) after a win by (2‑1) against Santa Clara. In the last 10 matches Sporting CP has won 8 and lost 2. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times but have turned the score around in 3. In the last 20 matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Sporting comes to this clash motivated after beating Santa Clara by 2-1, counting for the League Cup semi-final: the team's goals were scored by Pablo Sarabia and Mikel Villanueva (own-goal). In this match against Benfica, coach Rúben Amorim should play in 3-4-3, privileging the defensive organization and the counterattacks through the aisles. The man who plays on the attacking front, forward Pedro Gonçalves, is one of the great highlights of this Sporting, who is very competent when it comes to finishing. Out of this game is Sebastián Coates, a player who is at the service of his national team.

Confirmed Lineup: Adán, Ricardo Esgaio, Luís Neto, Zouhair Feddal, Gonçalo Bernardo Inácio, Matheus Reis, João Palhinha, Pablo Sarabia, Pote, Matheus Nunes, Paulinho.
Coach: R. Amorim.
