The highly anticipated showdown between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, leading contenders in the Primeira Liga, will take center stage this Saturday.

Recently, both teams clashed in the Taca de Portugal semi-final, with Sporting Lisbon emerging victorious with a 4-3 aggregate triumph.

Sporting Lisbon enters this upcoming match buoyed by a thrilling 2-2 stalemate against Benfica at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday, marking their return to the Taca de Portugal final after a four-year hiatus.

The Leoes are currently on an undefeated streak in their last three matches across various competitions, registering two victories and a draw. During this run, they netted ten goals while conceding only four.

Under Ruben Amorim's guidance, Sporting Lisbon's journey in the Europa League came to an end after a 3-2 aggregate defeat to Atalanta BC in the round of 16, leaving them with aspirations solely focused on clinching the Primeira Liga and Taca de Portugal titles.

Earlier in the week, Sporting maintained their hopes of winning the double after defeating Benfica 2-2 at home to win the Taca de Portugal semifinals on aggregate. It was a powerful way to bounce back from losing to Atalanta in the Europa League round of 16 three weeks prior. Actually, Sporting's lone loss in their last 15 games across all competitions came from a 2-1 setback to the Italian team. In the Primeira Liga, Ruben Amorim's team has been unstoppable, going 12-1-0 in their previous 13 games. The Lions have an overall record of 22-2-2 in the domestic league and a division-best goal difference of +51.

With their backs against the wall, Benfica is aware that winning all three points will probably be necessary to retain their crown. Benfica, in contrast to their opponents today, advanced to the Europa League quarterfinals and will believe they have a great chance of making it to the semifinals. That may have an impact on this match as the Eagles will face Marseille for the first leg right after this one. The team's winning streak of four games was broken by the previously stated 2-2 away tie with Sporting, although their undefeated record now stands at six games. This season, Benfica has a 9-2-2 record in the league when playing away from home, scoring 24 goals and allowing 15.

Benfica, who have played one more game than their opponents, is also in the running for a double this season. They are only one point behind Sporting in the league and will play Marseille in the Europa League quarterfinal.

Although the Eagles' chances of winning three titles were dashed on Tuesday, they managed to maintain their winning streak, which now stands at six games with two draws and four wins.

But the last time Schmidt's team faced a team ranked in the top three in the league, the result was a depressing 5-0 loss to Porto.

Thus far in the league, the Eagles have won nine and drawn two of their away games. They have only lost two. They now share the title of top away team with Sporting and Braga.
