Rui Borges stats worry Sporting fans | OneFootball

Sporting continues without winning in big games this season. The lions visited the Estádio da Luz last Friday, December 5th, and drew 1-1, in the match corresponding to the 13th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The green and white goal was scored by Pedro Gonçalves.

Despite the point earned at Benfica's home, Rui Borges' record this season is concerning for Sporting. In the fourth big game of the 2025/26 season, the lions still haven't managed to triumph over the theoretically more challenging rivals in Portugal.

The first clash of the season was in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. Sporting, national champion and winner of the Taça de Portugal in 2024/25, faced Benfica in the first trophy of the season, but ended up being defeated 1-0, missing out on that conquest.

Next came the matches against Porto, Braga, and Benfica for the championship. Sporting started by losing 2-1 at home to the dragons. In the game against the Minho team, the lions were close to victory, but a penalty at the end of the match resulted in a 1-1 draw - a result that was repeated in the Lisbon derby on the last December 5th.

Furthermore, regarding the matches between Benfica and Sporting, balance has been the order of the day. Lions and eagles have drawn in four of the last seven encounters they played in the national championship. In the remaining three matches, the green and whites won twice and were defeated once.
