FC Porto vs Sporting Lisbon Predictions

• Sporting have picked up 13 points from a possible 15 in their last five games
• Sporting average 2.8 goals per game
• Viktor Gyökeres is responsible for 39% of Sporting’s goals

Sporting can grab big three points against title rivals

Sporting are in prime position to secure back-to-back league titles, and a win here against rivals FC Porto would be a major step toward that goal.

Leões have been in fantastic form, picking up 13 points from a possible 15 in their last five league matches. A huge part of their success is down to their elite number nine, Viktor Gyökeres. He has already netted 22 goals this season—more than a goal per game—accounting for 39% of Sporting’s total goals. He continues to prove himself as one of the most promising strikers in world football and is a constant threat to any defence.

FC Porto, meanwhile, have struggled for form, winning just one of their last five league matches and enduring a recent four-game winless streak. Confidence is low, and Sporting have the perfect opportunity to take full advantage

Sporting are averaging 2.8 goals per game this season and show no signs of slowing down. If they can supply Gyökeres, they are bound to find the net multiple times. FC Porto have a strong attack of their own and should be capable of getting on the scoresheet, but Sporting look the stronger side and could come away with a 3-1 win.
