Pacos Ferreira vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Sporting scored at least twice in seven of the last eight H2H games. 
• Pacos Ferreira did not score in the last 377 minutes of H2H play.
• Pacos Ferreira won just one of their last nine competitive games.

Plucky Pacos hope to stifle Sporting

Although we are going for a heavy Sporting victory in our pre match prediction, Pacos are no pushovers. Jorge Simao’s charges have lost just three of their ten league games so far and have struggled to convert draws into wins (W2, D5, L3) but this will be a different challenge altogether against one of just two unbeaten sides remaining in the league.

The Big Three sides in the Primeira Liga are simply streets apart in terms of quality in comparison to Pacos. To put it simply, the hosts’ return of four draws from their last five league games is unlikely to extend to five from six here given that they lost each of their last seven games against Porto, Benfica and Sporting whilst conceding at least twice each time. 

The Lions of Lisbon can break the hosts down

Ruben Amorim’s men head into league action with fire in their bellies following a rampant 4-0 victory in the Champions League kept their European dream alive in midweek. That result may just inspire them to put Pacos to the sword here after each of Sporting’s last five league wins came with just a single goal margin.
