Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Chaves
Match Time & Date:
20/02/2023
02:00 PM
Prediction: 1-2
Sporting
Following a 2-1 loss to Porto, Sporting CP will look to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Chaves on Monday evening. The Lions face a must-win situation against Chaves, but they will have to do it without Trinaco and Fatawu as the duo limped off with injuries in the Primeira Liga derby. Both Paulinho and Santos are ready to step up, whereas Danial Braganca remains in the recovery room.
The hosts, on the other hand, aim to stay in the top half of the table, but they face a difficult task in Monday’s encounter. Since Chaves shocked Sporting in Lisbon earlier this season, the Lions must be hungry for revenge, and we predict that they are going to pick up vital three points from the match. All Nwankwo Obiorah, Luther Singh, and Jonathan Arriba should miss out with injuries for the home side.
