Sporting vs AFS Prediction and Betting Tips 5 February 2026

After surviving Nacional (2-1) in their last Primeira Liga game, Sporting CP aim to book their place in the Taca de Portugal semis. As AFS suit the Lisbon Lions, we predict a 3-0 home win. Sporting are on a five-game winning run in all competitions, with the team scoring 2.40 goals per game at home of late. The Lions are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and their expected goals at home of 1.89 is surely a green flag. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.

AFS, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Braga in their last league match, with the team continuing to struggle at the back. As Joao Henriques’ men have been conceding 3.00 goals per game on the road of late, we are not tempted to bet on the underdogs. AFS defender Cristian Devenish is back from the Primeira Liga ban.

In their last meeting at Estadio Jose Alvalade, Sporting crushed AFS 6-0 and with the hosts being in a fine form of late, Home Win seems like a sure bet. Additionally Sporting -2.5 and Over 3.5 goals markets should be considered.

This Taca de Portugal match will be played on Thursday 5 February 2026 at 19:45.
