Prediction: 3-1
Estoril
Monday’s clash between Sporting CP and Estoril will close round 24 of the current Primeira Liga campaign. The Lions are eager to retain top position in the standings, but the in-form visitors should not be written off just yet. Defender Ousmane Diomande serves a one-game ban, while midfielder Morten Hjulmand returns from suspension. The likes of Pedro Goncalves, Nuno Santos, Geny Catamo, and Daniel Braganca remain in the recovery room.
Os Canarinhos, on the other hand, have won four of their last five league matches. Estoril, though, are on a seven-game losing run at Estadio Jose Alvalade, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the reigning champions. In their last meeting in the Portuguese capital, Sporting recorded a routine 5-1 win over Estoril, who have no fresh injury worries. Spanish midfielder Jandro could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Rio Ave.
