Preview
Sporting CP come into this game having won their past five matches. In fact, with the exception of a loss to Porto back in March, the hosts have won eight out of their last nine Primeira Liga games and will naturally be looking to shake things up with a victory over Benfica this Sunday. The hosts will be missing Marvin Zeegelaar due to suspension, and will be hoping that key marksman Bas Dost, who leads the scoring charts with 28 goals, will be able to fire the team to a win as they aim to force their way back into the title race.
Meanwhile, for Benfica, they will look to take advantage of Porto's slip-up last weekend to slam the door on the battle for the league title. Rui Vitoria's side enjoy a eight point lead over Sporting CP ahead of this Lisbon Derby and a three point gap over Porto. However, they may have to make do without star man Jonas, who is in doubt after suffering a knock during the team's last match.
