At the moment, the Eagles are in second place in the table with 78 points and are only lagging behind the Sporting leader due to additional indicators. Having beaten Estoril 2-1 in the last round, Benfica secured their third victory in a row.

1.79Tip and bets
Benfica is in great shape and does not allow Sporting to break away – today the Eagles have the opportunity to break into the lead and make a serious bid to win the championship, which the hosts will obviously strive to take advantage of. Sporting is unlikely to be able to beat Estadio da Luzhe to zero, given the attacking potential and motivation of the opponent in the derby, but at the same time, the lions certainly have their own plans for points. Sporting is also at the peak of its form, has no serious personnel problems, is able to play at full strength and respond.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on the outcome
Benfica will certainly strive to take all three points today and then the fate of the championship title will be in its hands, but at the same time, a mistake in such a duel will almost certainly exclude the Eagles from the race, so the hosts will not rush forward without looking back. Sporting, in turn, will also not take unnecessary risks, a draw will keep the first place and then gold will be a matter of time – a draw in this scenario looks like a very promising bet, such an outcome will not be a disaster for either side.
The bet is a draw. This bet is offered for 3.45
A bet on yellow cards
The degree of struggle in such a derby is always off the charts, but today the championship title will be at stake – in such a match rudeness and emotions will clearly be in abundance, it makes sense to count on a lot of yellow cards.
The bet is a total of more than 4.5 yellow cards. This bet is offered for 1.65
