[wptb id=395947]
Gearing up for a Goal Fest at Estadio Jose Alvalade
Key Stats
– Moreirense have found the net in 75% of their league matches thus far.
– Sporting Lisbon’s last three league wins have all ended with a 2-1 scoreline.
Sporting Lisbon, after a commendable start in the Primeira Liga, are prepping to host the newly-promoted Moreirense at the Estadio Jose Alvalade this coming Sunday. With the two teams in starkly contrasting forms, let’s delve deeper into the specifics, the players to watch out for, and some match predictions.
Sporting Lisbon’s Formidable Start
After their first four games in the Primeira Liga this season, Sporting Lisbon are emerging as one of the teams to beat. Tied on points with Boavista and Porto, they’ve been a force to reckon with. A series of opening wins against Vizela, Casa Pia, and Famalicao set them on a comfortable path until Braga – their challengers from last season – managed to snatch a draw.

Their upcoming schedule interwoven with Europa League commitments and domestic challenges suggests more opportunities for Sporting to consolidate their top position. Of note is their anticipated clash with arch-rivals Benfica in mid-November. Before that crucial face-off, Sporting fans would be keen to see their side capitalise on their home advantage in seven of their next 11 matches.
Moreirense: The Underdogs with a Point to Prove
On the flip side, Rui Borges’s Moreirense haven’t had the ideal start to their return to the Primeira Liga. Their preseason prep didn’t pan out as planned, and their loss to Porto on opening day and another subsequent defeat are cause for concern. While their win against Chaves brought some relief, their position, precariously close to the relegation zone, makes this game against Sporting ever more crucial.
Key Players in Focus
Sporting Lisbon: As we can see in the BettingTips4You Expert Rating, Paulinho emerges as the standout performer. Having found the net four times in just 242 minutes, he currently tops the league’s scoring charts. His transformation has been meteoric, especially with the competition posed by new signing Viktor Gyokeres. Other notable mentions include Viktor Gyökeres and Pedro Gonçalves who’ve also been instrumental in Sporting’s solid start.
Moreirense: For the visitors, the onus will be on the likes of Alan and João Camacho to produce the goods. With both midfielders having already found the net this season, their contributions will be key.
Match Predictions
- Main Prediction:
- Both Teams to Score: Sporting, while dominating, have occasionally shown defensive lapses. Moreirense, despite their struggles, have managed to find the net in three of their four league fixtures. Thus, the odds favour both teams getting on the score sheet.
- Correct Score Prediction:
- Given Sporting’s current form and the statistics of both teams, a 2-1 win for Sporting Lisbon seems probable. It is noteworthy that three of Sporting’s recent league victories have been by this exact scoreline.
- Goalscorer Prediction:
- Paulinho: Given his impressive start, he is our pick to score at least once in this encounter.
Optional: As for the first goalscorer, considering his form, Paulinho stands as a strong contender.
