Paços de Ferreira hosts Sporting in round 9 of Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Thursday, October 31st at Estádio da Capital do Móvel (Paços de Ferreira)
Paços de Ferreira is currently on the penultimate line in the standings - today's hosts have lost five times in the first eight rounds of this season, and, to be honest, I don’t understand what Paços can oppose to the upcoming rival. Head-to-head matches with the Lisbon team have not been successful for Ferreira recently - six last games ended in the triumph of Sporting. Besides, the opponent will be incredibly motivated now, so today's hosts will not be able to count on simple relaxation or underestimation by Sporting. I am sure that Paços should not count on points because it is noticeably weaker than Sporting.

Honestly, it’s not entirely clear to me why the Lisbon team is given such a high coefficient. The Greens are on the fourth position in the Portuguese Primeira standings, and the gap to leading Porto is already quite decent (seven points), so Sporting can’t lose points in matches with outsiders. It is worth noting that the Lisbon team is in a cool mood - it managed to gain four victories in the last five games, and two of them were gained in the European Cup arena. An unexpected defeat happened in the Cup match, but it was probably the result of rotation and simple underestimation. It is hard to believe that eminent and skillful Sporting will lose points in the game with the penultimate team of the championship.
I am sure that it is worth betting on visitors. Of course, Sporting does not impress with the game in the local championship because the lag behind the leaders already amounts to seven points, but the shape of the Lisbon team is gorgeous now. The odds for Sporting’s victory are extremely pleasant, and you have to use them - the victory of the Greens with a cool coefficient!
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win
