Sporting CP - Benfica betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.05, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Sporting CP, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

No one was surprised with how easily Sporting CP managed to win their previous showdown. They grabbed an early lead and proceeded to win the game 1:3, which was foreseen by almost all Primeira Liga betting predictions.

The lukewarm performance by Benfica in the first half of the previous round gave Belenenses some hope, but the impressive play of the second half quickly drowned those hopes and led to a 3:1 victory.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Sporting CP attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

It will be interesting to see if Benfica manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Sporting CP this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 1. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
