For admirers of the Portuguese championship, there is an unmissable shock this Sunday, November 12, 2023. A derby recognized in Europe, Sporting Portugal, leader of the ranking, travels to Benfica Lisbon for a clash that smells like gunpowder from the start. sending. Undefeated since October 8, a total of seven consecutive matches, the group coached by Ruben Amorim put themselves in perfect conditions to surprise their sworn enemy at the Stade de la Luz. However, an XXL performance is recommended because the last two outings of the Green Lions were narrowly won by a goal difference (Rakow and Estrela). In addition, the SCP has not provided any defensive observers since the number of goals conceded increases week after week (2 on average for 270 minutes). It’s simple, if the visitors show laxity from the kick-off, the 3 points will be difficult to achieve.
While everything was going well in Liga Portugal with seven units obtained out of a possible nine, the Lisbon side had a complicated European evening, losing with a score of 3-1 at Real Sociedad. Once again, the men led by Roger Schmidt disappointed during a big meeting, which is worrying before the start of a game that is attractive on paper but also in reality. We are counting on the Red Eagles to return to the level seen against Chaves or Arouca (2 clean sheets away) because this seems to be the only way to defeat a leader who has been almost untouchable since the restart!
