Benfica will look to extend their winning run to four games when they face Sporting in the Lisbon derby, but with the Lions looking strong at the moment as well, there is big value in betting on 2-2 draw. The Eagles came from behind to beat Nacional 2-1 at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. As Jose Mourinho’s men have been scoring 2.5 goals per game at home of late, Home Team Over 0.5 goals seems like a sure bet. All Felix, Araujo, Bah, Bruma, and Lukebakio miss out with injuries, but they should not be sorely missed.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions as well. With Sporting averaging 3.00 goals per game in those encounters, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Estadio da Luz. The likes of Braganca, Debast, Ioannidis, and Santos remain in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting.
Given the attacking potentials of the two sides, BTTS is our main betting tip for the Lisbon derby. Both Over 2.5 goals and Over 5.5 yellow cards betting options seem tempting as well.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Friday 5 December 2025 at 20:15.
