On Friday night, Sporting CP host Gil Vicente at the Estadio Jose Alvalade as the home side looks to secure a much-needed win in the Primeira Liga.
Sporting CP
The team from the Portuguese capital have endured a rather rollercoaster campaign so far. Despite winning both games in the Champions League group stages, Sporting finds themselves in eighth place in the Primeira Liga table after an inconsistent start to their league campaign.
Ruben Amorim’s team has picked up just ten points from their opening seven matches in the Portuguese top-flight.
A 2-1 defeat at Boavista last time out ended a more positive two-game winning run. Sporting needs to put together a positive run, as they are currently five points adrift of the European places.
One positive for Sporting of late has been their home record, as they have won four of their last five league games on home soil and eight of their previous ten Primeira Liga matches, too.
They have also been prolific in front of goal in those recent home wins, scoring at least three goals in each of the four home wins.
Gil Vicente
The visitors have made a mixed start to the new Primeira Liga campaign, although a record of one win from their last six league matches is not great form.
They have drawn too many games of late in the Primeira Liga, as three of their previous five league matches have ended in draws.
Gil Vicente’s inconsistency has also been evident in their away form, as they have won just one of their previous seven league matches on their travels.
However, that one win was a 2-1 away win at Maritimo in their last game in the Portuguese top-flight.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Sporting will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to potentially push closer to the European spots in the Primeira Liga.
