Where to Watch Benfica vs Sporting CP
  • Benfica and Sporting CP will play one another in the Portuguese Cup final for the ninth time. Benfica is typically dominating in this matchup, having won six of the last eight meetings.
  • In their 39th Portuguese Cup final, Benfica is vying for their 27th championship.
  • When these two rivals first faced off in a Portuguese Cup final in 1951–52, Benfica prevailed 5–4 in an exciting contest that featured seven goals in the second half.

After clinching the Portuguese Liga by two points from their arch-rivals Benfica, Sporting CP's eyes will be set on the Taça de Portugal to complete their domestic double. Sporting is attempting to win the Taça de Portugal for the 18th time, having last won it in 2019. The final on Saturday marks a major turning point for them since, despite their recent league success, cup triumph has evaded them in recent seasons. Having not taken home the trophy since 2017, Benfica is going through their worst cup drought since the year 2000. Under Bruno Lage, who overcame a difficult start to lead the club back into contention, the Eagles came very close to winning the league again this season.

Last weekend, a 1-1 tie with Sporting essentially gave their opponents the championship. Benfica ended the campaign with a frustrating feeling of what may have been after defeating Braga 1-1 again. With manager Ruben Amorim leaving for Manchester United in November, Sporting saw significant turnover this season. They remained stable under interim management despite the turmoil, continuing to depend on players like Pedro Gonçalves and Viktor Gyökeres, who are now believed to be transfer targets around Europe.

After losing to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Benfica has gone 12 games without a loss in all competitions, going into the final. Benfica has only lost to Barca and Santa Clara in their 29 games since losing to Braga in their first match of the year. They also defeated Sporting in the Taça da Liga final. Before Amorim left, Sporting had won 11 straight games to start the Primeira Liga season. They have, however, been undefeated for the rest of the league season after dropping the first two games in the post-Amorim era.

Suspensions and injuries might affect the outcome. Manu Silva, who joined Benfica in January, and Danish defender Alexander Bah are both sidelined due to injury. Sporting have their problems; Ousmane Diomande is still doubtful for the weekend, while Nuno Santos and Daniel Bragança are out.

In recent matches, Sporting have prevailed against Benfica, winning three, drawing two, and losing only one of their past six matchups. The derby was extremely competitive, as evidenced by the fact that just 15 goals were scored in those six games and that officials issued 35 yellow cards and two reds. After missing out on the league title by a slim margin, Benfica will attempt to salvage some hardware. Sporting sees it as an opportunity to win another significant prize to cap off a successful domestic campaign.
