The Most Common Mistakes In Correct Score Betting

Having hit something of a snag lately, FC Porto have been found wanting at times, dropping points on a regular basis. They have won only two of their previous five matches – three of them ending in stalemates – to lose ground in the title race.

While the defending champions were floundering, Sporting CP capitalized on their rival’s poor form to move well clear at the summit. Already ten points clear of Conceicao’s men, victory in this encounter will see the Lions make a big step to clinching the Liga NOS title.

FC Porto vs Sporting CP Team News

Previously neck-and-neck with Sporting CP at the top-end of the standings, FC Porto’s recent poor form has seen them drop valuable points in the league. With this decline, the Primeira Liga title is slowly crawling out of their grip.

They had been on a horrific run, sharing the spoils in three matches on the bounce, before returning to winning ways on the last matchday. Against basement club Maritimo, Porto were made to bend over backwards to secure all three points.

After Uribe’s opener was cancelled out by Andrade’s effort, it appeared the Dragons were headed for a fourth consecutive draw. However, the narrative was rewritten late on as Otavio stepped up to convert a spot-kick – posting a vital 2-1 win on the board.

Following that fortuitous triumph, Conceicao’s men went on to upstage Italian juggernauts Juventus in their Champions League last-16 first-leg clash. On that big night in Porto, Taremi and Marega hit the target to send the Bianconeri sinking.

Now, the whole squad must have gotten a huge confidence boost, and will be looking to kick on with another positive result this weekend. Needless to say, it is going to be a very arduous task for Porto to safely condemn high-flyers Sporting CP to defeat.

The league leaders are strolling to league success, but must keep their heads down if they are to retain top-spot till season-end. Impressively, Sporting CP have won their previous six matches on the spin, scoring eleven goals, and conceding only once in that time.

The Lions’ previous fixture saw them come up trumps against Portimonense on home turf, firing two unanswered goals past the opposition’s helpless goalie. Now, they will be raring to return to the pitch to take on second-placed Porto, hoping for a good result to move further clear of the chasing pack.

FC Porto vs Sporting Predictions

Primeira Liga games really do not come any bigger than this, and we are set to be treated to a wonderful spectacle in Porto come kickoff. With neither side willing to lose this one, we are predicting a cagey affair with a shortage of gilt-edged chances.

With the league’s best defensive side facing off the most offensive outfit, both teams will most likely cancel out. We shouldn’t see any more than two goals between these sides in this contest.
