Prediction: 0-3
Sporting
Estrela will try to claim a major scalp in Primeira Liga round 27 when they welcome Sporting CP to their Estadio Jose Gomes on Saturday evening. Os Tricolores failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Guimaraes before the international break and they face yet another difficult task against the title holders. Forward Rodrigo Pinho is back from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Lions, meanwhile, are determined to retain top position and given their four-game winning run in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. Uruguay forward Maxi Araujo misses out through suspension as well as Danish midfielder Morten Hjumland, but key attacker Viktor Gyokeres should be fit for Saturday’s clash despite missing out Sweden’s March friendlies with a minor injury. Defender Goncalo Inacio is back from suspension.
