We said: Benfica 1-2 Sporting Lisbon

Benfica will have the opportunity to head into the international break in first place in the Primeira Liga with a win in this match; however, that will mean they need to hand Sporting their first league defeat of the season. The hosts will also have to contend with the short turnaround time, having travelled to Spain in midweek, while also dealing with a fairly lengthy injury list that features a few key players. Based on those reasons, the visitors may just have a slight advantage despite playing on enemy territory, and we feel they can pull off a narrow victory in this one. Read more.
