Football Prediction of the Day Sporting vs Benfica

The show is announced again on Estadio Jose Alvalade. On 05.01.2020 it was Sporting – Porto, and now, in the 17th round of the First League, it will be Sporting – Benfica. As in the game with “dragons”, I think that in this match we will have goals scored. Therefore, the bet I bet is over 2.5 goals.
Benfica is a goalscorer in this season of the Primera Liga, the team prepared by Bruno Lage managing to score no less than 40 goals in 16 games (the best attack in the championship); with 12 successes, respectively 10, Pizzi and Carlos Vinicius are the best scorers of the team.
On the other side, Sporting will not leave sooner and I think it will score at least once, especially as it has to take a rematch after the crushing failure suffered in the Super Cup (lost 5-0).
