Sporting CP Porto betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In the first great “classic” of the season in Portugal, Sporting and FC Porto will have every interest in fighting for the three points, at a time when the “dragons”, in case they fail, can see Benfica further distance in the lead. Amorim's team, on the other hand, intend to remain 100% victorious, so the expectation is for a good football game, with interesting offensive dynamics on both sides and attacks that can overcome the defenses, which have not even been in good shape at the beginning of the season.

Preview
Sporting CP and Porto meet at Estádio José Alvalade, in a match for the 4th round of the Primeira Liga. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 6 head‑to‑heads they won 3, tied 2 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primeira Liga, on 05‑01‑2020, Porto won by (1‑2). M. Acuña (44' ) scored for Sporting CP and Tiquinho Soares (73' ) and M. Marega (6' ) for Porto. Sporting CP registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Sporting CP

The home team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 2 wins. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Paços de Ferreira, by (0‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against Portimonense, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Sporting CP has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Having lost the opportunity to compete in the group stage of the Europa League, the Sporting team have already raised their head and are focus in national competitions. Highlight, of course, for the walk in the Liga NOS, where the “lions” have only played two games, having won both, which means that the team led by Rúben Amorim add six points and occupy the 4th place, side by side with FC Porto and Marítimo. After beating Paços Ferreira (0-2) in the debut and crashing in the Europa League, losing to LASK Linz (1-4), Sporting resumed the path of triumphs in the last round of the championship. In a visit to Portimonense, the Lisbon team won by 0-2, with the issue being resolved within the first quarter of an hour of the game, with goals from Nuno Mendes (4 ’) and Nuno Santos (11’).

Confirmed Lineup: Adán, Luís Neto, Sebastián Coates, Zouhair Feddal, Pote, Pedro Porro, João Palhinha, Matheus Nunes, Nuno Santos, Nuno Mendes, Jovane Cabral.

Analysis Porto

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Boavista, by (0‑5). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Marítimo, by (2‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 29 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Porto has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches.

FC Porto are the current title champion and have as main objective the revalidation of their conquest of last season. For now, the "dragons" did not enter the League as they intended, since they have already stumbled and now occupy the 3rd place in the league table, with the same six points from Sporting (which have one game less) and Marítimo. Three points behind the leadership of rival Benfica, the team led by coach Sérgio Conceição will seek in this “classic”, in Alvalade, to react to the surprising defeat in the reception to Marítimo (2-3), of the last round. Losing since the 24th minute, FC Porto still drew by Pepe (42 ’) in the first half, but would feel a lot of difficulties in the second half, having suffered again at 52’. Before suffering the 1-3, Alex Telles (meanwhile sold to Manchester United) missed a penalty. Otávio's goal (90 + 9 ’) has only served to reduce distances on the scoreboard.

Confirmed Lineup: Agustin Marchesin, Chancel Mbemba, Pepe, Zaidu Sanusi, Wilson Manafá, Otavinho, Sérgio Oliveira, Mateus Uribe, Luis Díaz, Moussa Marega, Jesús Corona.
