The jury's still out in this one
All outcomes are in the running here but the value has to be with the deadlock. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.
There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Not giving much away on their own paddock, Benfica have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 11 matches. Meanwhile Sporting haven't conceded a single goal during their most recent 3 games.
In previous matches between these sides 4 of the last 12 have ended in a draw.
It would be crazy to argue that the favourites are nailed on here. Don't be surprised if the two sides cancel each other out over an attritional ninety minutes. In which case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.
Benfica have drawn 5 of their last 15 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 1-1 with FC Porto at home last week. Sporting have drawn 3 of their last 8 matches. The feeling is it will be a close encounter but the pick has to be with draw and the stalemate seems perfectly sensible.
