Last week Sporting surprised absolutely everyone: the team were considered favourites against Estrela, but it ended in a draw (2:2). One of the best teams in Portugal had noticeable problems in defence. The coaching staff will try to do something about it. And most likely the solution will be more careful and pragmatic football. At home, it will undoubtedly be much easier to control the situation. Yes, there is room to create something in attack as well. But finishing has been lacking so far. The main thing is to get the win.

Vitória Guimarães started the tournament with a defeat to Arouca. And in the match against Sporting, the visitors simply cannot compete in terms of status. Vitória will play purely defensively. So there is no reason to expect any great attacking output. Yes, in the first round the team created chances worth 2.38 xG. But the finishing looked simply awful. There are no significant arguments in favour of the situation improving just yet.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In the upcoming match, Vitória and Sporting may play in a fairly tight and pragmatic manner. Of course, the hosts have enormous potential. But the coaching staff understands that the players need to peak much later. Right now, still feeling the effects of pre-season workloads, the Lisbon giants may look considerably worse than usual. And that will certainly affect their attacking play. As for the visitors, given their status, they have no real chance of a major result. Our editorial team expects defensive actions to dominate. There is value in a bet on total under 3.5 goals.
