Sporting CP return to Alvalade after rescuing a late point in the derby with Porto, thanks to Luis Suarez’s stoppage-time penalty. As the Lions have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict that they will defeat Famalicao 2-1. Luis Suarez's suspension is a major setback, removing Sporting’s most reliable finisher. Even so, the reigning champions remain strong at home, winning four of their last five and averaging 2.50 goals per game at Alvalade. Their expected goals of 2.09 at home underlines the consistency of their attacking output, while they have failed to score in 0% of league matches this season.
Famalicao arrive buoyant after a convincing 3-1 win over AFS, with no new injury concerns. Mathias De Amorim remains suspended, though his absence was barely felt last weekend. Despite their solid home form, Os Azuis e Brancos remain unreliable away from home with just 0.60 points per game and only 0.40 goals scored per away match. Their defence concedes 2.20 per away outing, which is troubling against a Sporting attack that rarely misfires.
Sporting dominate the H2H (13 wins in 18), and even without Suarez, they should have enough to secure the points. Sporting CP are a real force to be reckoned with at home and given their H2H dominance, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, with additional value on Over 2.5 goals and Sporting Over 1.5.
This Portugal Primeira Liga match will be played on Sunday 15 February 2026 at 20:30.
