The initial Derby de Lisboa in the 2023-24 Primeira Liga season is on the horizon, featuring a face-off between Benfica and Sporting Lisbon at Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica this Sunday evening.
An exciting clash awaits as both teams have commenced the season impressively, sharing identical goal differences and only being separated by a three-point margin. The victors of this encounter are poised to lead the league heading into the upcoming international break.
The reigning champions approach this match on the heels of a disappointing performance in Spain, suffering a 3-1 defeat against Real Sociedad in the midweek Champions League fixture. This loss marked their fourth consecutive setback in the Continental Cup, placing them at the bottom of Group D as one of only two teams without a point after the initial four matches.
While European success appears to be slipping away, Benfica aims to maintain a strong position in the domestic title race. Despite their recent Champions League struggles, the team has excelled on the home front, securing a 2-0 victory against Chaves in their last league outing. Goals from Fredrik Aursnes and Joao Mario in the second half extended their unbeaten streak to nine games.
Throughout this period, the team, led by Roger Schmidt, has achieved eight wins and a draw. Notably, they have accumulated 10 points from a possible 12 in their home matches, emphasizing their prowess in the domestic league.
