Our prediction for this Portugal League Cup match:
Saturday’s football game at Estadio Municipal de Portimao pits together Portimonense and Sporting CP. The Lions quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Rio Ave, with the team beating Gil Vicente 2-0 on the road in their second group game in Taca da Liga. The capital club have slim chances of winning the Primeira Liga title, meaning that they are eager to go all the way in both Taca da Liga and Taca da Portugal this term.
Portimonense, on the other hand, are only one point clear of the relegation zone in the Primeira Liga standings ahead of the visit of Sporting CP. Antonio Folha’s troops aim to retain top position in Group C, but we are tempted to put our money on the Lions this time out as they impressed in a 4-0 win at Santa Clara in their last league fixture.
