  • I didn't expect Sporting to beat Benfica in Estádio da Luz last year by 0-3 just like I didn't expect Benfica to beat Sporting in Alvalade in the second part of the season. I'm saying that because derbies are unpredictable, they seem to always bring out the best of the players even when they're in poor form (and the worst even in their best form). So following that logic, I wouldn't try to bet in a game like this. If I had to choose though, having Sporting lost João Mário and after Porto's game against Roma, I think FC Porto might snatch a win or draw here but I could very, very easily be wrong.
