What’s the form of Sporting and Benfica?
Benfica arrives with something to prove after an early exit from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the Round of 16. The team responded by investing heavily in new signings, including:
- Richard Ríos (Palmeiras, midfielder) – €27M
- Franjo Ivanović (Union SG, striker) – €22.8M
- Amar Dedić (RB Salzburg, right-back) – €12M
- Samuel Dahl (AS Roma, left-back) – €9M
- Rafa Obrador (Real Madrid Castilla, left-back) – €5M
Sporting CP, meanwhile, enters as reigning league and cup champion, but without star striker Viktor Gyökeres, who joined Arsenal for over €70 million after a historic campaign.
Is this a rematch of the Portuguese Cup final?
Yes. This match is a direct rematch of the 2025 Taça de Portugal final, in which Sporting defeated Benfica 3-1 in extra time. While the Lions aim to reaffirm their dominance, the Eagles arrive in Aveiro seeking revenge and a fresh start to the season.
