Sporting CP - Estoril predictions

Top bookmakers online have made Sporting CP overwhelming favourites in this match and judging by the available odds it’s hard to see past a comprehensive home win here.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Sporting CP and the 13.00 odds given to Estoril to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

Sporting CP did as expected and took a first-half lead in the last round of the Primeira Liga against AVS. However, they failed to maintain the result and were forced to settle for what turned out to be an unexpected 2:2 away draw.

Estoril’s previous Primeira Liga match ended in victory, though it was a close one. Top online bookmakers considered them to have the upper hand against Rio Ave going in. While the first half was inconclusive, they bagged a 2:1 home win.

Sporting CP’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 7 times during the course of their previous three away games.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Primeira Liga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

The hosts have been playing great so far, but they have a lot to lose and the pressure is mounting as the season progresses. The odds are in their favour with this match, though, and their table-leading position seems secure for now.

Sporting CP played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Monday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.44, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
