Porto - Sporting CP betting tips and odds

Though we can call Porto the favourites in this matchup, Sporting CP are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

At 3.75 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Sporting CP are well aware of it themselves.

Porto secured three points against Marítimo in the last round after a rather uneventful first half. A single effort in the second half was all that was needed for a 1:2 triumph, even if it was somewhat unconvincing.

Sporting CP have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 2:0 in a home game against Portimonense. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.50 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Porto and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Sporting CP have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Porto are doing quite well so far with a strong 2nd position on the table, which guarantees Champions League football. There’s still plenty of time left until the end of the season – plenty of chances for them to move up to first or lose their current spot. Either way, they’ll be highly motivated this Saturday.

The season is close to its midpoint with Sporting CP in the lead with 54 points. With every other team hankering to take it away from them and Porto as their next matchup, maintaining the lead will be no easy feat.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

Due to a recent string of unfortunate injuries, neither team will be able to play with their full roster. With Porto_INJURIES unavailable for the hosts and Sporting CP_INJURIES for the visitors, their respective lineups have been significantly impacted. It will be an interesting game, though any bets made may be somewhat less reliable due to the fact.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.25 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
