Sporting CP host Benfica at Estadio Jose Alvalade, Lisboa on Sunday, May 9 at 6:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Primeira Liga, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Sporting CP come into this fixture in good form (3W 2D 0L recently). Benfica, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Sporting CP lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Benfica won 2–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sporting CP a slight edge, but Benfica are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
