Benfica meets Sporting Lissabon in the Portuguese Super Cup final. The match will be played on Sunday, August 4th at Estádio Algarve (Faro/Loulé)
Benfica has already played 5 matches after the end of the championship that it won in May. There were 2 friendly matches, where it lost to Anderlecht and won Santa Clara, and there were 3 matches in the International Champions Cup. And it won all three. But there were no boys there and not even Anderlecht that is torn by conflicts, but Guadalajara, Fiorentina and Milan. Moreover, Benfica conceded only form Fiorentina and kept two clean sheets.

Sporting also didn’t twirl thumbs and held 5 matches. But the results do not please either its fans or the management of the team at all. Sporting lost to Valencia, Brugge and even Swiss Rapperswil. It managed to scratch out only 2 draws with St. Gallen and Liverpool.
In almost all countries, the Super Cup matches are held before the start of the championship. It is such a friendly match with a title and prize. Some federations, for example, Italian, generally make these matches exhibition and commercial and play them outside their country in China, Japan, the UAE... That is, the attitude to the trophy is rather superficial. Portugal at least holds them at home, and Benfica is unlikely to refuse to put another trophy in its bottomless piggy bank. Why not? Sporting is n bad shape now, and it was not particularly noticed on the transfer market. The existing players have not yet gained the necessary momentum. But it cannot be said about Benfica if we see at its results. Sporting has won 8 super cups in its history, Benfica - 7, and it is also a kind of tacit competition, and the score is likely to be equal after this meeting. But it pays to insure the Eagles with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Benfica to win with 0.0 handicap
