Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
Sporting CP will be looking to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Santa Clara when they take on Vizela at Estadio do Vizela on Matchday 18. The Lions rolled over lower-league side Leca (4-0) in the Taca de Portugal on Tuesday, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Sporting CP are eager to melt Porto’s advantage in the Primeira Liga standings, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Vizela.
Both Geny Catamo and Goncalo Inacio have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Jovane Cabral misses the match with injury. Alvaro Pacheco’s troops failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Moreirense, and seeing that Sporting CP are determined to return to winning ways, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away side. Both Ivanildo Fernandes and Claudemir miss out with injuries for the home team.
