Moreirense vs Sporting Lisbon prediction and betting tips on December 5, 2024
Game Prediction
Moreirense and Sporting Lisbon will play in the 13th round of the Portuguese Primeira on December 5, 2024. The champion will come only for a victory, but the hosts will also try to fight for points – they have a chance to get a ticket to the European competition.
Our prediction for the match Moreirense vs Sporting Lisbon
“The Green and Whites” perform quite consistently in the elite division of the country. They are not strong enough to regularly aim for a place in the European tournaments, but, as a rule, they are at the top of the standings. That was the case last season – the team finished in 6th position. “The Lions” failed in the 2022/2023 draw, but Ruben Amorim retained his job and won the championship race against neighbouring Benfica in the next cycle.
Speaking about the new season, Cesar Peixoto’s wards are generally at their traditional level – they win more often than they lose. They also knocked out Porto in the cup in November. The grandee from the capital of Portugal managed to start with a defeat to “the Dragons” in the Super Cup, although the team was leading with a 3-0 score there. As for the Primeira, the club showed a 100% result, and among other things, it crushed Manchester City in the Champions League – 4-1. It is reasonable to mention that ten Hag was kicked out of Manchester United, and Ruben Amorim was lured in his position. After that, Joao Pereira became the coach. Having debuted with a cup success, the mentor himself was beaten in the game against Arsenal – 1-5. And then the champion did not respond to Santa Clara’s goal, losing for the first time in the Primeira.
Performing with such a goalscorer as Gyokeres in the squad, it is not surprising that the champion scores 3 goals per meeting. Still, they also concede less than half a goal per round. The hosts also have a positive goal ratio, but it is clearly more modest – 1.36/1.27.
