Porto - Sporting CP predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Porto on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The 2.68 away win betting odds indicate that Sporting CP are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Instead of easing to victory in their last Primeira Liga match played at Rio Ave, Porto had to dig deep to get out of the gutter. They went behind in the first half and can even consider themselves lucky that they managed to salvage a point in this 2:2 match.

Sporting CP never really broke a sweat against Farense as they recorded a pretty straightforward 3:1 victory last time out in the Primeira Liga. Having taken an early lead in the first half they only brought it home for a rather convincing and morale-boosting win.

Experts have pointed at Porto’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Primeira Liga games.

With 8 goals in their previous 3 Primeira Liga matches, Sporting CP boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

The 42 points Porto have earned so far brought them to be 3rd on the current Primeira Liga table. They’re coming up on a difficult matchup, though, and there’s plenty of time in the season for things to change.

Although both teams have a decent shot at victory, Sporting CP will be highly motivated to defend their position as table leaders. The path to the Primeira Liga title is still long and arduous, but the form they’ve shown so far gives hope to their supporters.

Porto have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.95 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
