Taca de Portugal semi final 2nd leg as Benfica host Sporting Lisbon. The first leg ended 2-1 to Sporting Lisbon so extra time and penalties is a possibility. Porto and Vitoria contest the other place in the final. League form sees Benfica 1 point behind their rivals in 2nd place with 67 points, having played a game more. Benfica are unbeaten in 5 games in all competitions with 4 wins and 1 draw. Sporting’s form is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with a defeat to Atalanta in Europa Liga ending their title hopes there.
Team news: No new injury worries for the home side. Sporting is still without keeper Antonio Adan and miss midfielder Goncalves here also.
Recent Head-to-head statistics: 20 games – 9 wins Benfica, 6 draws and 5 wins Sporting.
Betting selection – Two games this season between the sides have both ended 2-1 to the home side. They meet again on Saturday in the League which is arguably more important. I take both teams to score yes here at 1.67 or 4-6 bet365.
