Sporting Lisbon to Win and Under 3.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Sporting have won four of their last seven away Primeira Liga games and should beat a Portimonense side that have lost each of their home games to Sporting’s top three rivals Porto and Braga. Additionally, fewer than four goals have been scored in nine of Sporting last 12 league outings.

 

1/1odds when tipped

Sporting Lisbon 2-1

Reason for tip

Portimonense have not shipped more than two goals in a home game in the current campaign. Sporting average around 1.5 goals per away game this term and have conceded exactly once in four of their last seven on the road.

Portimonense vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

  • Sporting have won four of their last seven away Primeira Liga games
  • Fewer than four goals have been scored in nine of Sporting last 12 league outings.
  • Portimonense have not conceded more than two goals in a home game all season.

Sporting should see off Portimonense

Sporting Lisbon can maintain their spring offensive when they travel to the Algarve on Sunday to take on a physical Portimonense side.

Ruben Amorim’s team have won three games on the bounce as they close in on a faltering Sporting Braga in third place. They should have scored more than just the two goals at home to Estoril on Monday but found the visitors’ goalkeeper in top form.

Their potency had been given a boost by pushing midfielder Pote into a more attacking position in the 3-2 win at Chaves ad 4-0 Europa League victory over Midtjylland, but he was deployed back in a central role at the Alvalade. Amorim may opt to do the same this weekend, which would give Sporting more control, but potentially a bit less firepower against the Algarveans.

Lions likely to grind it out

Portimonese are not the sort of side to go under at the mildest bit of pressure, so Sporting may be forced to grind out their win. The hosts have not shipped more than two goals in any home league game this season.

Hence, the main recommendation here is to back a Sporting win with fewer than four goals in the game.
