Prediction: 1-2
Sporting
Thursday’s football game between Moreirense and Sporting CP will open round 13 of the new Primeira Liga campaign. The Lions continue life without boss Ruben Amorim and their display in a shocking loss to Santa Clara is not fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres, while both Goncalves and Santos continue to miss out with injuries.
The hosts, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Rio Ave, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the title holders. You should know that Sporting have defeated Moreirense in each of their last four meetings in the Portuguese top flight. Both Guilherme Liberato and Alhassane Sylla are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
