Feirense had poor run of seven defeats in a row but now the team is unbeaten for three matches after 2-0 league win over Pacos de Ferreira and two draws in the cup against Porto, 1-1, and Belenenses, 2-2. The visiting side is involved in relegation battle as they are currently 15th in the league with 14 points gained and 12-30 goal difference. Seven away games got the team seven points with 7-15 aggregate goal difference. The most recent away match was won back in the middle of September.
The opponents face one another only two times in recent years and both of these matches were won be the Lions, 2-0 and 1-0. Sporting haven’t used to such poor run of results and they definitely would want to show their true level with confident win over the team from relegation zone.
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
