SC Farense hosts Sporting Lisbon in round 27 of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The match will be played on Friday, April 16th at Estádio de São Luís (Faro)
Farense and Sporting are on opposite poles of the standings. Lions of Faro are fighting for survival, that is, Farense is located in the relegation zone. The team managed to earn points in only one of the last five matches of the Portuguese championship. And the Lions rarely score. Farense lost 0- 2 to Rio Ave and 0-1 to Belenenses and then minimally beat Boavista away (0-1). After that, the Lions of Faro lost two matches again (1-2 to Braga and 0-1 to Maritimo). SC Farense has scored in only two of its last five matches. It is also worth noting that the Lions have not conceded more than two goals in the last five matches.

Sporting slightly slowed down its champion’s pace. The leaders of the Primeira League didn’t win two matches in a row. They tied with Moreirense and Famalicao drew with the same score of 1-1. The last time the Green-and-Whites conceded in two or more matches in a row was in January this year. Then the opponents sent goals into the net of the Portuguese grandee for three matches in a row. Beyond that, Sporting players have scored more than one goal in only one of their last five matches (2-1 against Santa Clara). The team has conceded in three of the last five meetings.
Sporting has no complete dominance in recent head-to-head meetings. The Green-and-Whites gained four victories, but there was a defeat with a score of 1-2. Interestingly, in three out of five cases, the teams scored at least three goals for two. But in the last two meetings, they limited themselves to a modest 1-0 score. Sporting CP have won five of their last six away matches. And Over 2.5 goals scored took place in only one of them. SC Farense has not managed to win at home in the last six matches. Three goals were scored in only two of them. We think that the motivated visitors will at least not lose, but the fans shouldn’t count on goal extravaganza.
Prediction for the match: Sporting to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 2.5 goals scored
