Command Analysis
Sporting CP
Sporting is still undefeated in the Portuguese championship, but it is still only in third position in the Primeira Liga standings. The club is six points behind the ranking leader, Porto. Ruy Willian's team suffered their first defeat of the season only this week, losing in the Champions League to Austrian LASK (2:3) on their own field. Before that, in the same tournament, they managed to win over Galatasaray (3:1) and Lance (2:0).
Academico Viseu
Academico Viseu demonstrates excellent results for its level. This team is not often seen in the top division, but now the club has managed to earn a promotion and immediately get into the top half of the table. Already in the first round, the club took points from Benfica (2-2) in an away match. Bruno Pinheiro's team is currently on a four-game winning streak. The Viseu team defeated Gil Vicente (1-0), Vitoria Guimaraes (2-1), Estrela (2-0) and Estoril (2-1).
After an unnecessary defeat in the Champions League, Sporting is clearly set for a landslide victory and will not feel sorry for its opponent. Academico Viseu has been playing very well in recent matches, but still it has not been possible to beat opponents of the Sporting level yet. We believe that there will be no sensation here, the angry favorite should win confidently.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (-1.5) for Sporting in 1.70
