Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Vitoria Guimaraes, Sporting will be aiming to overtake Porto in top position when they take on Ferreira at Estadio da Capital do Movel. The Lions are on a quest to defend their title, and they should continue to rely on their rock-solid defence. It has to be noted that the reigning champions have conceded no more than four goals in the 2021/2022 Primeira Liga season.
Since Ruben Amorim should have a full squad to choose from, punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on the visiting side. Ferreira failed to win the previous six league fixtures, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the title-chasing Lions. Defender Joao Vigario remains on the sidelines through injury for the home team.
