Game Prediction
Sporting Lisbon did not make it to this round of European competition, having been eliminated in March, in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League. As a result, the team has the opportunity to finally fight against Famalicao, which was supposed to take place in the 20th round of the Portuguese Primeira. Will the leader of the tournament take a step towards the championship? A prediction for this confrontation on April 16, 2024 is available to the readers of the website.
Famalicao can be considered a fairly strong middle peasant of the country
“Villa Nova” was founded in 1931, but it only occasionally climbed into the top division of Portugal for a long time. Still, a large part of the project’s shares was acquired by Quantum Pacific Group, a company that invests in Atlético Madrid, in the summer of 2018. As a result, the team made it to the Primeira already at the end of the first season, and it immediately took 6th place there. Unfortunately, the club lost a couple of positions instead of building on the successes, and then it took 8th-9th place from year to year. It will be the same in the current cycle. Still, the team can also surprise – for instance, there happened a draw in the battle against Porto.
Sporting Lisbon is aiming at the golden double
“The Lions” finished the previous season only in 4th place (even Braga got more points then). Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim remained in his position and justified that trust. “The Green and Whites” are really good now. They lost to Atalanta in the Europa League both at the group stage and in the 1/8 final, but the club was able to confidently ensure its superiority over Benfica at the inner arena (Porto fell behind even earlier). First, “the Eagles” were knocked out in the cup semi-finals, and then they finished with a 2-1 score in the Primeira, finally creating a kind of comfort for themselves. The team do it without slowing down: Gil Vicente was defeated with a 4-0 score.
Previous head-to-head matches
The last time “Villa Nova” won the battle against the giants from the capital was back in 2020. “The Lions” have not lost in 8 matches in a row and all 5 previous games, including in August 2023, ended in victories.
