Benfica vs Sporting CP: the head-to-head

The record between Benfica and Sporting CP is striking for how often it ends level, with nine draws out of 23 encounters since 2015, a balance that keeps the rivalry fiercely competitive. Benfica has won nine times, Sporting five, and the two sides have combined for 62 goals, averaging 2.7 per game. In 83% of meetings the total score reaches two or more goals, while 48% see three or more, and in 70% both clubs score. Benfica’s 33 goals to Sporting’s 29 show a slight edge, but the venue split tells a different story: at home Benfica has won only four of 12, whereas on the road they have secured five of 11 victories. The most recent clash ended 1-2 in Sporting’s favour on 19 April 2026 at Estádio do Dragão, and the next fixture is scheduled for 27 December 2026.
