Moreirense vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in ten of Sporting’s last 11 competitive games.
• Moreirense have scored in nine of their ten home league games this season.
• Viktor Gyokeres has scored six goals in his last four appearances for Sporting.

Moreirense face tough ask

Moreirense have picked up some good results of late but they face an uphill battle if they are to get a result against a Sporting side that have been on a rampage recently.

The visitors, who are level on points with Benfica at the top of the Primeira Liga with a game in hand, put in another excellent performance in midweek to build a 3-1 first-leg lead over Young Boys in the Europa League and their domestic performances lately have been spectacular.

Gyokeres on fire for visitors

They put five past Braga without reply last weekend and demolished Casa Pia 8-0 at the end of January, with these results extending their league winning streak to seven games.

Moreirense were beaten 3-0 in Lisbon back in September and have lost their last three meetings with the Portuguese giants. With ten of Sporting’s last 11 competitive games producing at least three goals, backing over 2.5 goals appeals and Sporting should be backed in the correct score market.

They have scored three goals in their last two competitive away games and Moreirense have scored in nine of their ten home league games this season, so a 3-1 correct score prediction appeals.

Some of the best value lies in Viktor Gyokeres to get on the scoresheet. The former Coventry man has been a revelation since signing for Sporting, scoring 25 goals and assisting nine more in 28 competitive appearances. He scored in Switzerland in midweek and now has six goals across his last four games.
