Betting tips – Benfica vs Sporting – 11.12.2016

Benfica and Sporting will be face to face today from 18:00, UK Time, in the most exciting match of the Primeira Liga 13th round.

As expected, Benfica start a little in pole-position at the bookies, with odds around 2.25 for a win. They were undefeated in the first 11 rounds of this campaign, losing the first game last week, 1-2 to Maritimo, away from home. Benfica have 29 points out of 36 and they are leading the table, having two points more than today’s opponents.

Sporting are getting better and better, coming here after three consecutive wins in the domestic league. They seem to be the most in form side in Portugal at the moment. With 27 points and a 23-10 goal difference, Sporting are finding themselves on the second position, two points behind Benfica and two points above FC Porto.

Benfica vs Sporting probable lineups:
Benfica (4-4-1-1): Moraes – Nelsinho, Lindelof, Luisao – Almeida – Salvio, Pizzi, Fejsa, Cervi – Guedes – Mitroglou.
Sporting (4-4-2): Patricio – Pereira, Coates, Semedo, Zeegelaar – Martins, Carvalho, Silva, Cesar – Ruiz, Dost.

Benfica vs Sporting prediction: 1X @ 1.34
Benfica struggled vs their local rivals in the four home meetings. Now they have no other option than a good results here, since they will lose the leading position in case of a loss. I expect the hosts to get at least one point this evening.
