Prediction: 1-2
Sporting
Sporting will be aiming to keep their Champions League hopes alive when they take on Pacos Ferreira on Sunday evening. The Lions are seven points behind top three, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for them. Both Jerry St. Juste and Daniel Braganca are sidelined with injuries, while Matheus Reis should be recalled to the starting XI.
The hosts, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Vizela and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run. Midfielder Jordan Holsgrove is back from suspension, meaning that Cesar Peixoto should have a full squad to choose from. Ferreira are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Anyhow, the visitors are closer to picking up all three points from the match than the hosts.
