Estrela Amadora vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Both teams to score has been a winner in Sporting’s last seven league games
• Both teams have scored in Sporting wins in the last five meetings between these two
• Estrela have only conceded 38 times in 26 matches

Super Sporting can win

The Portuguese title race is looking more like a two-horse race than anything after Porto’s recent wobble, with Sporting and Benfica occupying the top two places.

Benfica are three points behind Sporting with a game in hand at the time of writing but they could have closed that by the time the Lions take on Estrela on Saturday.

Both teams have scored and Sporting have won in the last five meetings between these two teams and a repeat of that looks likely again.

Tricolours could net

Both teams have found the net in Sporting’s last seven league matches and Estrela are scrapping for their lives at the opposite end of the table.

The hosts have only lost one of their last five games, including a 1-0 success over Boavista, but look set to fall short against the league leaders, who beat them 5-1 in the reverse fixture.

Nevertheless the home side can get on the scoresheet against Rui Borges’ men, who have netted a whopping 70 times in 26 games.

Sporting have recorded five wins by a 3-1 scoreline this season and a repeat of that is fancied against an Estrela team who are unlikely to go down without a fight, either in this clash or the season in general.
