Stats for this game
Matchup Benfica VS Sporting CP
A derby shaped by narrow margins
Benfica beat Sporting CP 2-1 away on 19 April 2026, after the teams had drawn 1-1 at Benfica on 5 December 2025. Sporting CP won 1-0 at home on 29 December 2024, while the Primeira Liga meeting at Benfica on 10 May 2025 ended 1-1. These scorelines underline the close nature of the derby, with wins for both clubs and two level league contests across the venues. That balance gives every derby its own tension.
Venue and future stakes
Benfica’s ground has hosted two draws in the league meetings above, while Sporting’s venue has produced a Benfica away win and a Sporting home victory. The balance leaves little room for complacency. For future fixtures, each venue will bring its own pressure and possibilities, and the next scoreline should be earned rather than assumed. Cup encounters have also added extra drama to the rivalry, but the league results provide a clear competitive frame.
