Porto - Sporting Lisbon Prediction and Best Odds:

Porto, 30-time winners of the Primeira Liga title will be looking to slow down Sporting’s march to the 2023/24 title. It is all they can do but a win here will have an impact on their chase for places in Europe. It hasn’t been a kind season for Porto, who are staring at the possibility of ending the season empty handed. For now, their only hope is the Portuguese Cup. In the league remainder, even a top two finish might be too far for them. Benfica, in second, are already 11 points ahead of Porto, with 12 more points to play for. Behind them Braga and Vitoria Guimaraes are challenging for the Europa League spot they currently occupy. From multiple angles, this doesn’t look promising for Porto, as far as their league placing is concerned. A 2-1 win over Casa Pia in the last game stretched their run to three unbeaten matches but three defeats in eight games have had a dent on their confidence. The hosts have just a win in their last four league matches, while they are winless in two home games in the league.

This is a massive weekend for Sporting, who are going for their 20th league title, and could bag it on Sunday. They start this game seven points ahead of reigning champions Benfica, who have a tricky game against Braga on Saturday. Should Benfica lose at home to Braga, a win will be enough for Sporting to dethrone them. This is just a warmup to the Portuguese Cup final, in which these two sides will be facing off again. Sporting come into this game unbeaten in seven matches, with six wins in them. In the last three, they kept clean sheets, the most recent being in a 3-0 win over Vitoria Guimaraes. The visitors’ only defeat in the last 19 matches was against Atalanta, which resulted in their elimination from the Europa League. Away from home in the league, Sporting are unbeaten in nine matches, winning eight of them, which places them as favorites here. They managed to end Porto’s five-game winning run in this fixture the last time these two sides met, winning 2-0.
