Despite managing back-to-back wins in domestic competitions, SL Benfica has been far from convincing lately, as evident in their 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad, where they were lucky to not concede more goals. Roger Schmidt's men need to improve massively if they want to get something out of Sunday's derby.

Sporting CP, on the other hand, is enjoying a delightful run of form. They've won 13 out of their 16 matches this season and have only lost a couple of points in the league, keeping them at the top of the table. Rúben Amorim's men are looking confident right now.

SL Benfica has delivered good performances when facing tough opponents in domestic competitions, beating FC Porto twice this season. However, they will face an ultra-confident Sporting CP that could end this streak, especially if Gyokeres is in a good mood.

Neres and Kokçu remain injured and won't be part of Sunday's derby. Petar Musa is expected to lead the line, getting the nod over Cabral and Tengstedt. Other than that, Roger Schmidt is likely to name the same Starting XI that faced Real Sociedad last time around.

Gyokeres had a full week to rest as he served a match ban against Rakow and will likely boost Sporting CP's options upfront. Pote netted a decisive brace in midweek and should be full of confidence heading into Sunday's derby. Unfortunately, Geny Catamo and Morita are injured and won't be available here, giving Esgaio and Bragança another chance to start.

This is Sporting's time to shine and continue their dominance in this league!

尽管本菲卡在国内比赛中取得了背靠背的胜利，但最近的表现远没有让人信服，在1 - 3输给皇家社会的比赛中，他们很幸运地没有丢更多的球。如果罗杰·施密特的球队想在周日的德比中有所收获，他们需要大幅提高。

另一方面，体育CP正享受着令人愉快的状态。他们在本赛季的16场比赛中赢了13场，在联赛中只丢了2分，保持在积分榜的首位。Rúben阿莫林的人现在看起来很自信。

本菲卡在国内比赛中面对强敌时表现出色，本赛季两次击败波尔图。然而，他们将面对超级自信的体育CP，这可能会结束这一连胜，特别是如果Gyokeres心情良好的话。

内雷斯和科科帕茹仍然受伤，不会参加周日的德比。Petar Musa有望领先于Cabral和Tengstedt。除此之外，罗杰·施密特很可能会提名上一场对阵皇家社会的首发11人。

由于在对拉科夫的比赛中被禁赛，他有整整一周的时间可以休息，这很可能会增加体育CP的选择。波特在周中打进了决定性的两粒进球，他应该对周日的德比充满信心。不幸的是，加塔莫和森田都受伤了，无法上场，这给了埃斯盖约和布拉干帕拉塔另一个首发机会。

这是里斯本竞技闪耀的时刻，继续他们在联赛中的统治地位!
