Sporting Lisbon vs Maritimo Betting Tips and Predictions

A wobble of one win from five games – including their Europa League exit to Bayer Leverkusen – has been put right by Sporting Lisbon’s three straight wins in the league. However, Benfica have taken full advantage to take over at the top of the table and they have a two-point lead from Sporting Lisbon, who have only six games left to turn things around and claim the Primeira Liga title. Sporting have shown their attacking strength in their last two games, putting five past Estoril and Belenenses, and they should win easily again here.

Maritimo enjoyed a 2-0 home win against Nacional last time out to ease away from any lingering relegation fears, but with a cup final around the corner Nelo Vingada’s men could well find themselves distracted by possible glory in the next few weeks. Maritimo have a rotten record in this fixture, which they have lost six games in a row, and it is tough to see them turning around that damning head-to-head record in this Saturday evening fixture.

Sporting Lisbon are priced up at 1/5 for this game, so while they might well go on your weekend accumulator you will want to find more value in backing the title hopefuls for this game. Sporting Lisbon to win with BTTS at 7/4 with bet365 looks a great price as this is a bet that has come in three games in a row for Sporting games, while in the correct score market Sporting Lisbon to win 3-1 at 10/1 with bet365 looks a good bet too.
