So the team can show something in attack. It's quite possible that there will be a fair number of good counter-attacks in the upcoming match. Especially given that the stands will be pushing Estrela forward. The team understands that their chances of winning right now aren't particularly high. And that takes the pressure off. There could be some very good spells. Just not in defence.

Sporting Lisbon Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Club Friendly Games tournament (home team - Sporting Lisbon, away - Nottingham Forest). The match concluded with a scoreline of 4:1.
Here are the match stats (Sporting Lisbon vs Nottingham Forest):
- ball possession: 50% vs 50%;
- corner kicks: 9 vs 1;
- fouls: 10 vs 14;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 0;
- shots on target: 4 vs 2.
Sporting are one of the best teams in Portugal. The team had a very solid pre-season: they beat Nottingham Forest (4:1), Monaco (2:0), Strasbourg (7:0) and Celtic (4:1). It's hard to build a scenario where the team suddenly collapses in attack. The upcoming opponents are not that strong. The visitors operate at fundamentally different speeds - both in terms of mobility and decision-making. Yes, there may be some roughness in their own half. Away from home, the team concedes at times. But the attack should outweigh all the possible costs associated with the start of the season.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this match Sporting are the clear favourites. They will control the ball and the initiative overall. It is evident they have the resources to score several goals. But Estrela, as practice shows, can break away on the counter-attack. And in general, they can look quite bold at times. Given that the favourites have not yet found their optimal tactical solutions and combinations, both teams scoring is a possibility. Our editorial team expects a high-scoring scenario and outcome from this match. We are going with total over 3 goals.
