Preview
Benfica
It has been a rough week for the hosts. They suffered their first league loss before being defeated 2-1 by Napoli in the Champions League. However, Rui Vitoria isn't let it get him down, noting that "this [game] is another story. It's important we analyze and prepare for this game against a tough team."
Fortunately for him, it looks like several key players will be back in action, including star striker Jonas:
MF: Fejsa, Samaris, Carrillo, Zivkovic, Salvio, Pizzi, Cervi, Rafa and Danilo; FW: Raúl, Jonas, Mitroglou and Gonçalo Guedes. #SLBxSCP

Sporting CP
Likewise, Sporting CP failed to make the grade in the Champions League as they lost 1-0 to Polish champions Legia Warsaw. However, Jorge Jesus's side - who have not won the league title in well over a decade - could take over top spot with a win against their bitter city rivals. Sporting CP's current coach, of course, is quite familiar with Benfica as it was there he won a slew of silverware, including several league titles as well as being a finalist in two Europa League contests.
Moreover, the visitors have tasted recent success here - they notably beat Benfica 3-0 at their home ground in Jorge Jesus's first year in charge. Will they repeat this again on Sunday afternoon?
