1.67Tip and bets
Sporting will face PSV in the Champions League in a few days, leading the coach of the Lions to likely implement some rotation. However, these adjustments are unlikely to weaken the favorite enough for Estoril to have a realistic chance of securing points in the upcoming match. Sporting's reserve squad is quite strong and the team is in excellent shape. That said, a heavy defeat is also improbable as Sporting will surely aim to conserve their strength.
We believe a rout is unlikely. Our prediction is Asian handicap (+2.5) for Estoril. This bet comes with odds of 1.75.
Bet on Total Goals
Sporting is undoubtedly the favorite and is likely to attack aggressively from the start as the Lions consistently score goals. There's every reason to believe they won't go scoreless today. Nevertheless, the rotation strategy employed by the visiting coach gives Estoril a solid chance to find the net. The Canaries are in good form and could easily secure a consolation goal at home.
Bet - Both teams to score. This wager is available at 2.15
Bet on Corners
Sporting is the favorite and is expected to dominate the game with continuous attacks, which should translate into a clear victory in corner kicks.
Bet - Asian handicap (-4) on corners for Sporting. This bet is available at 1.85
