Worth Mentioning

The outcome of their latest encounter was a 2:2 draw. The two teams faced each other on 15th of January 2023. The last two games proved to be unsuccessful for Sporting Lisbon, as they have been on a winless streak claiming just 1 draw. The home factor has been of little significance in the recent 10 head-to-head clashes as they finished in 5 wins for the sides performing at home and 4 for the travelling sides. Only 1 of the last 10 matches between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica ended in a draw. As many as three of the previous five meetings saw both sides hitting the back of the nets and three finished with over 2.5 goals. Over that stretch of time Benfica succeeded in keeping one clean sheet and Sporting Lisbon limited their rivals to no goals in one of the games. The majority of the previous H2H clashes ended with a high number of goals, with both teams netting a total of 18 across the last 5.
