Command Analysis

Sporting CP

Current form

Sporting are having a very strong season on all fronts and are in great shape. In the Portuguese championship, Ruben Amorim team leads the standings with 27 points after nine rounds, but does not have a serious lead over their competitors yet - second-placed Porto is three points away. In the Champions League last week, the Lions beat Sturm 2-0 away, thus extending their unbeaten streak to three matches and reaching eighth place in the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Nuno Santos, Edwards and Quaresma are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Sporting have not lost yet this season – two draws and 12 wins
Sporting have scored in all 14 matches this season

Estimated line-up : Israel - Diomande, Debas, Inacio - Cuenda, Bragança, Morita, Catamo - Trincao, Diokeres, Gonçalves.

Nacional

Current form

For objective reasons, Nacional could hardly have set more ambitious goals for itself than maintaining its place in the Primeira Liga, but there are problems with that too. With five points, Thiago Margarido team currently occupies the penultimate place in the table, one point behind the saving 15th place and with a game in hand - the situation remains under control for now. Having lost 0:1 to Casa Pia in the last round, Nacional suffered its fifth defeat of the season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Thomas is injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Nacional have not won in their last four matches – three defeats and a draw
Nacional have lost to Sporting in their last six matches

Probable line-up : França-Garcia, Ulisses, Ze Vitor, Gomez-Peña, Diaz, Esteves-Appiah, Butske, Isaac.

Tip and bets

Tiphandicap (-2.5) to Sporting

1.89

Sporting will probably use some rotation today, this is the third match for the Lions in the last seven days, but the visitors should hardly count on leniency - the Lisbon team has more than a decent squad, and it is unlikely that the changes will be too large-scale. Nacional is far from being in the best shape and in this state it is unlikely to be able to put up serious resistance.

We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-2.5) on Sporting . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal over 3.5 goals

1.91

Bet on total

Sporting are undoubtedly the favourites and will be set only for a confident big win – the hosts are capable of setting such goals for themselves, the opponent is clearly inferior in class. In the championship in a match against Nacional, the Lions scored six goals not so long ago, there will probably be no problems with goals today, and the White-Blacks are quite capable of responding with a goal of prestige.

Bet - total over 3.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.91

Bet on corners

Sporting are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.

Bet - Asian handicap (-5) on corners for Sporting. This bet is offered for 1.69
