Sporting CP - Farense predictions

No matter how you look at it, the outcome of this matchup isn’t much of a toss-up in terms of betting predictions. Sporting CP are very hard favourites, and it would take a miracle for Farense to manage an upset.

Farense stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 21.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Sporting CP quickly emerged as the dominant side in their previous Primeira Liga showdown, which was hardly a surprise given the 1.17 odds on them winning. They easily confirmed what most predictions were expecting and recorded a 2:0 win.

The away team’s previous Primeira Liga outing was a close call from the get-go: betting odds saw the two teams as equally-matched, though Farense did have the support of their home fans. However, they quickly fell behind in the first half and failed to catch up until the bitter end, ultimately recording a 1:2 loss.

Sporting CP have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Farense seem to take on a rather passive role whenever they play as visitors. Records show two consecutive matches that featured less than 2 total goals between them and their opponents.

Sporting CP are currently leading the pack in the Primeira Liga standings, with good odds of staying there. The season is well underway now, and their supporters are hoping that they’ll keep the momentum going.

Farense are in position 17th in the league table. It’s still too early to be overly pessimistic, but they’re in a tough spot. Avoiding relegation is getting harder with each passing round.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.14 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Sporting CP won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

At the odds of 1.14 at William Hill, we couldn’t recommend anything but a Home Win. The hosts are clear favourites in this matchup, and we’re very confident they’ll come out on top.
