Sporting vs Monaco Prediction 25 July 2026
🔊 One of the main friendlies of the day. Sporting and Monaco meet for the first time in nearly ten years - both sides are still far from their best, so don't expect a goal fest. There are a few things to watch, though.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides haven't played in nine years. Their last friendlies were in 2016 and 2017 - France won the first 4-1, Portugal took the second 2-1.
Head-to-head statistics Sporting - Monaco
Sporting Lisbon Team Overview
Sporting's last friendly was played against Strasbourg, ending 7-0. Here's how the stats broke down (Sporting vs Strasbourg):
- possession: 50% vs 50%;
- corners: 6 vs 4;
- fouls: 13 vs 12;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 0;
- shots on target: 7 vs 1.
Sporting have made a strong start to pre-season - two big wins, no arguments. First they beat Scottish champions Celtic 4:1, then Strasbourg 7:0. The finishing has been something else: 11 goals from 13 shots on target. Attack is clearly the foundation of Sporting's game, but the defensive side still needs attention. Neither of those two matches put their backline under any real pressure, so against Monaco it's not out of the question that they'll let the opposition take the initiative.

Monaco Team Overview
Monaco only recently got their preseason going. One match played this summer - a 5-2 win over Saint-Priest. Plenty of goals on both sides, as you can see. But the main focus for this game will be defensive work. The French side will keep pushing forward, though they'll be paying closer attention to the backline too.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers are clearly overrating another high-scoring scenario here. But look at how both sides finished their summer preparations, defence tends to take priority as the competitive games get closer. Last summer Sporting won their final two pre-season matches 1-0, and Monaco, after a few shootouts, tend to tighten up at the back. Editor's Prediction: total goals under 3.5.
