Sporting CP - Farense predictions

Sporting CP have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

With a price of 21.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Farense will likely not fare well against Sporting CP. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Sporting CP failed to meet the expectations set by the 13.30 betting odds in their previous Primeira Liga outing. Instead of a decisive away victory, they failed to pull ahead throughout the match and had to settle for a draw.

The home team are coming off of a 0:1 home defeat against Moreirense. Though disappointing, the loss can’t be called unexpected – they were near underdogs from the get-go, and the fact they fell behind in the first half didn’t do them any favours either.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Sporting CP, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

With a 2nd during the mid-season, Sporting CP are well on their way to a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty of time left, though, and they still have a decent shot at the championship title even.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Sporting CP already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.14 odds on a home win.

Thankfully, Farense will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.36 odds offered at William Hill.
