Sporting Lisbon will host their local, capital rivals Benfica at José Alvalade Stadium. Sporting and Benfica will collide in Primeira Liga’s top of the table clash on Sunday. With only 10 games to go, Sporting and Benfica are separated by 1 point coming into the eternal derby, while Porto will be looking out for a result (a draw) that leads them back into the title fight.
Sporting were thrown out of the Europa League by Leverkusen. This might caused some problems in their confidence, but will lead to a better focus on winning the title. On their first match after European failure though, Sporting drew 0-0 on their trip to Vitoria Guimaraes. They were unlucky not to have won that one, creating plenty of chances but scoring none of them.
Jesus’ team has 9-3-0 at home and hope they can beat their rivals tonight to make it 4 points clear on top.
Benfica won 2-0 against Uniao Madeira in the last round. Jonas scored both goals giving the Reds a all three points from that game. Meanwhile, the Eagles are continuing their glory days in the Champions League and will have to face Zenit in Russia next Wednesday on the return leg of their 1-0 victory in Da Luz. Benfica lost 0-3 at home to Sporting earlier in the season. They also lost two more games against the Lions, 1-0 in the Super Cup and 2-1 in the Portuguese Cup.
Benfica’s strikers Jonas and Mitroglou have racked up 44 goals between them in all competitions and will both start in attack.
Captain Luisao (D) and fellow central defender Lisandro Lopez are sidelined and leave Jardel to guide the defence.
Probable line-ups
Sporting: Rui Patrício, João Pereira, Coates, Naldo, Zeegelaar, William Carvalho, Adrien, João Mário, Bryan Ruiz, Bruno César, Slimani
Benfica: Júlio César, André Almeida, Jardel, Victor Lindelöf, Eliseu, Samaris, Renato Sanches, Pizzi, Nico Gaitán, Jonas, Mitroglou
