Sporting has 35 points, which it gained in 20 matches of the Primeira Liga. Currently, Varistocratas is in 3rd place in the Portuguese championship. The White-Greens broke the enemy’s resistance in 11 matches, two games ended in a draw, and the team was defeated in seven meetings. The Lions scored 31 goals but could not repel 22 goals. In the last round, the club overcame Portimonense's resistance (2:1). The Aristocrats earned 17 points in 10 away matches. In the semifinals of the League Cup playoffs, Sporting lost to Braga (1:2).
Since 1979, clubs have held 51 head-to-head meetings. Rio Ave triumphed in six matches, Sporting won 33 games, and 12 times the strength of opponents was on par. The hosts are holding a great season, but the Lions are not playing in the best way in this championship. As for the upcoming meeting, I do not expect goals from the teams. Bet: Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
