Both Benfica and Sporting are unbeaten in their last six matches, which promises a great match when the two face off on Sunday in Lisbon. Sporting have drawn four and picked two wins while Benfica have five wins in the run. Benfica have also had a better run in their league matches, picking four straight wins and losing just once in the last 10 league matches. They have picked nine wins in the last 10 matches. They have lost just three matches in the league this season, one lesser than Sporting, who have also managed just two wins in their last six league matches. Sporting’s greatest strength comes from their home form; they have not lost in their last 28 league matches at home but from the 10 played this season they have managed just four clean sheets. Benfica too have been good away from home, losing just two of 24 away league games and they will be looking to spread their influence further in this game. Benfica are unbeaten in this fixture in the last six meetings, while each of the last four meetings have ended in draws.
