Sporting Lisbon vs Santa Clara Prediction & Betting Tips - League Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in Football Predictions
Santa Clara were the first to beat Sporting Lisbon in the league this season and they will be hoping to repeat the feat when they travel to Lisbon for the League Cup semifinal clash pitting the two sides. Sporting recovered from their loss to Santa Clara with two wins but were given a reality check in their last game, losing 2-1 at home to Sporting Braga in the league. Sporting are the League Cup holders, having beaten Braga to it in the final in January last year and are looking to successfully defend it; they go to this game with five straight wins in the competition. In their last five matches, across all competitions, Sporting have struggled a bit in defence, failing to keep clean sheets in three, and both sides scoring in three of the last five matches. They have conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches.
Santa Clara haven’t had a stellar performance in the League Cup like Sporting; in their last five matches in the competition, they have managed just one outright win. It was a massive win though, beating FC Porto to finish top in Group D that also had Rio Ave. Having also beaten Sporting this season, Santa Clara will feel they can cause another upset here, to book a place in the final. They have scored two or more goals in each of their last three matches and in their last four matches, both sides have scored. In the League Cup, Santa Clara have just one clean sheet in the last five matches and will definitely be looking to improve on that here.

Our Sporting Lisbon vs Santa Clara Prediction
Sporting Lisbon have been on a shaky run lately and Santa Clara will know that too well, having beaten them in the league already this season. While Santa Clara do not have a very good run in the League Cup, they will want to build on their improving form ahead of this game. However, Sporting have been dominant in the League Cup lately and will be fired up to avenge their loss to Santa Clara in the league. A lot is at stake here; both teams will be going for the kill and both teams to score or over 2.5 goals can pass.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
