Aves hosts Sporting Lisbon in round 7 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Monday, September 30th at Estádio do CD das Aves (Vila das Aves)
Aves is in terrible shape. The team lost five of six matches, but with goals scored, so not everything is so bad. The team scored in all six matches of the championship and conceded in them either. Aves played two matches in the home field and scored at least twice in both.
Sporting has not been impressive lately. The team has lost 4 of its last 5 matches including the European Cups and the local league. If we take all the matches of Sporting in this season, the team conceded in all 9 matches but scored in all 9 games.
Apart from the match for the Portuguese Super Cup, where Sporting lost 0-5, the team exchanged goals in all eight matches, while it is worth noting that Sporting won only two out of eight of those games. Aves, although it lost 5 of 6 matches, the bet “both to score” was recorded in all six matches. Teams have not met for a long time after the 2006/2007 season, and these meetings have resumed in 2017. Since then they have played five matches and exchanged goals in three last matches, and given the statistics of both teams this season, this bet is quite relevant.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
