Looking at recent matches, Benfica are in good shape. They have won two of their last five games, with two draws and just one loss. Sporting CP have been a bit more up and down, losing three of their last five matches, though they did win one of those. The last few meetings between these two teams have been very tight. Their last three games all ended in draws, and two of those were 1-1 scorelines. They are clearly very evenly matched.

Because these teams are so close and their recent games have been so tight, this looks like a match that could go either way and is likely to end in a draw.
