Prediction: 2-1
Sporting
There will be fireworks when Benfica and Sporting go head to head in the Lisbon derby at Estadio da Luz. The Lions clinched the Primeira Liga trophy thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Boavista, and they are now on a quest to put icing on the cake on a very successful season. Spain midfielder Pedro Porro, who suffered an injury in the midweek clash, is unlikely to feature in the local derby, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Benfica aim to put an extra pressure on second-place Porto, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the newly-promoted champions. Even though Sporting want to remain undefeated in the 2020/21 season, we are tempted to put our money on the Eagles as they want this win more than the Lions. The good news for the hosts is that attacker Diogo Goncalves returns from suspension.
