Sporting CP vs Benfica 06.04.2024 Prediction: Liga Portugal

Match Overview

Sporting CP take on Benfica in a match in the Liga Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alavade on April 6, Saturday barely moments after they have played against each other earlier this week. These two teams are very nicely balanced with each other, and we expect them to rattle each other's cages. Sporting will have a big advantage as they are playing at home.

Key Highlights 

One must not forget that Sporting are one of the best teams in Portugal. They are also ranked 1st in goals scored per match (3 goals). Viktor Gyökeres is the competition's top scorer (22). Pedro Goncalves is ranked 3 in big chances created in the competition (15), and will have a big role to play in this game against Benfica.

Injury Report

Pedro Goncalves and Antonio Adan may not be available for Sporting CP in this game. Benfica, however, do not have any major absentees in their team.

Prediction

We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game since neither Sporting CP nor Benfica appear to be the favourites to win this game. Ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2.3 goals), Benfica have kept the most number of clean sheets in the competition (14). Rafa Silva is ranked 1 in big chances created in the competition (18), and will have a big role on Saturday.
