Benfica Lissabon vs. Sporting Lissabon: Tipp, Prognose & Quoten - 15.05.2021 – PORTUGAL: Primeira Liga
Sporting Lisbon crowned themselves Portuguese champions for the first time since 2002 just a few matchdays before the end of the season, winning the 19th league trophy in the club's history. A few days after winning the prestigious title, the last highlight of the current season is on for the lions. This weekend Sporting will meet arch rivals Benfica in the "Derby de Lisboa”.
Free soccer predictions
As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, the newly crowned champion is the slight outsider against Benfica Lisbon. In contrast to Sporting, Benfica is currently fighting for a direct right to start in the premier class and is therefore under pressure to win in the derby against the leaders.
Free soccer picks
For a home win by Benfica Lisbon against Sporting Lisbon, odds of 1.95 are waving, but a forecast is associated with a lot of risk. The guests have not lost a single league game this season, and before the "Derby de Lisboa” the Lions also won four wins in a row. It would therefore not be surprising if Sporting also scored against their arch rivals.

The high odds on an away win also have value in this case. Still unclear what a value bet is? Then off to the betting ABC of the betting base, where all technical terms relating to betting are explained.
Direct comparison / H2H
Across all competitions, the prestigious derby of the two top clubs from Lisbon will take place for the 311st time. Benfica currently leads the direct comparison against their arch-rivals with a record of 135-65-110, a total of 80 of the 135 wins the Adler won in the Primeira Liga. On average, 3.05 goals per derby were scored in the 173 league games between the two city rivals.

Nevertheless, it would be more than daring to predict more 2.5 goals in the game at Benfica Lisbon against Sporting Lisbon. With only 15 goals conceded in 32 games, the guests provide the best defense in the Primeira Liga. It is quite possible that the eagles will bite their teeth at the defensive bulwark of the city rival.
Free soccer picks
Already in the first half of the season Benfica missed a goal against Sporting. At home there were three home wins in a row against Sporting for the table third from Lisbon. Sporting have not won a single away game at Benfica since October 2015 - will they stay that way?

Benfica Lisbon - stats & current form
Benfica Lisbon missed the championship this season but are still the record champions in Portugal with 37 league titles. In the end of the season, the Eagles are now fighting for a direct right to start in the premier class and are facing a groundbreaking home game against Sporting Lisbon. To hope for help, Benfica is forced to win against their city rivals.
The gap to the second in the table from Porto is four points. Almost a week ago, Benfica dropped important points in their six-point game against their table neighbors and only played a draw. This missed a great opportunity to reduce the gap to one point.

During the week the Eagles were able to at least keep up and thus prevent a premature knockout in the race for second place in the table. If the Portuguese record champions celebrate their second win in a row this week, Benfica Lisbon against Sporting Lisbon will pay out odds of 1.95 for tip 1 from the bookmaker Interwetten, which was tested by betting base.

For the first time in almost 19 years, Sporting Lisbon was crowned Portuguese champion and was able to end the long dry spell in the Primeira Liga.

After the championship was bagged mathematically during the week, Sporting Lisbon faces the "Derby de Lisboa” against Benfica this weekend. The newly crowned champion has the chance to slow down the arch-rival in the race for second place in the table.

In 16 away games, Sporting have so far had 13 wins and only three draws, with the Lions conceding only six goals on unfamiliar territory. In any case, Sporting's defensive bulwark was one of the success factors this season. Even against the offensive from FC Porto, which statistically represent the best attacking division in the league, Sporting was given a clean slate in the second half of the season.
