Sporting CP take on Estrela in the opening match of the new Primeira Liga season with the visitors arriving as clear favourites after a flawless preseason campaign. Estrela head into the new season full of confidence after a 4-2 victory over Al Nassr in their final warm-up fixture, ending preseason on a positive note. However, their overall form remains inconsistent, with just one win in their last 10 matches and defensive issues highlighted by 1.50 goals conceded per game. Jovane Cabral has departed the club after completing a summer move to Gremio.
Sporting, meanwhile, enjoyed a perfect preseason, winning every friendly and finishing preparations with an impressive 4-1 victory over Nottingham Forest. The Lions have been highly productive in attack, averaging 2.30 goals per game across their last 10 matches, while conceding only 1.00. Summer additions Ibrahima Ba, Issa Doumbia, and Silas Andersen have strengthened the squad, although winger Geovany Quenda has left for Chelsea.
The H2H record heavily favours Sporting, who have won all seven previous meetings, with 86% of those games producing over 2.5 goals. Given their impressive preseason, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Sporting Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Six of the last seven encounters between these teams went over this line).
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Saturday 8 August 2026 at 20:30.
