Benfica - Sporting CP betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.95, 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 4.00 away win betting odds indicate that Sporting CP are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

The last time we saw Benfica play, they had some issues in the early stages of the game against Nacional. Having gone down in the first half, they more than pulled through by the end of the match and brought home an important 1:3 away win.

Things turned out rather well for Sporting CP the last time they played against Boavista. An early lead led them straight into a clear 1:0 victory, although it is a close result considering they were strong favourites going in.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Benfica 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.

With at least one goal on the board in all 7 of their most recent matches, Sporting CP are doing well offensively. Especially if you’re interested in something like a Both Teams to Score bet.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Sporting CP once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.95. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
