Sporting vs. Santa Clara: Portuguese Championship Match Prediction

Command Analysis
Sporting CP
PortugalCurrent form
Sporting has no equal in the championship. The team won all 11 matches with a total score of 39:5. Such results inspired the management of Manchester United, and the head coach Ruben Amorim moved to the English club. He was replaced by Joao Pereira, under whose leadership the players played two matches. In one, they crushed a team from the third league, Amarante (6:0), in the Portuguese Cup, and then lost to Arsenal (1:5) in the Champions League, so it is difficult to judge the new appointment.
Disqualifications and injuries
Goncalves and Santos are injured and will not appear on the pitch.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sporting have won all 11 matches in the national championship
- The visitors have conceded in four of the last five meetings
Estimated line-up: Israel - Inacio, Diomande, Sant Just - Cuenda, Hjulman, Morita, Araujo - Turincan, Gyekeres, Edwards.
Santa Clara
PortugalCurrent form
Santa Clara also had a great start to the season. Let us recall that last year the club played in the second most important league, and now after 11 rounds played with 21 points scored, the team is in fourth place in the ranking, ahead of such a club as Braga. They managed to score 14 goals in all matches, but they also missed a lot - 12. Vasco Matos, the team head coach, instilled in his players an open style of play so that they do not get stuck in their penalty area, and this has borne good fruit.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pacheco is injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Santa Clara have won their last two matches
- The visitors kept a clean sheet in the last two matches
Estimated line-up: Batista - Pereira, Rocha, Lima - Kalila, Serginho, Klisman, Nunes - Silva, Safira, Lopez.

1.40Tip and bets
Sporting smashes everyone in their path in front of their home fans. 39 goals scored and only five goals conceded are a perfect example of this. Last year, the teams played each other in the Portuguese Cup, and then the hosts of the upcoming match won on their home field with a score of 3:0. We are inclined to believe that in the upcoming match, the current champion of the country will also win confidently, with an advantage of several goals.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Sporting with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
Sporting have won three of their four home wins in the national championship without scoring. Santa Clara have failed to score in their last three away defeats. Such figures suggest that only the reigning champions will score in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with odds of 1.52
Bet on corners
If Sporting plays like they have in the last 11 rounds of the national championship, they will be able to win not only by score, but also by other additional indicators.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) corners for Sporting with odds of 1.70
