Moreirense vs Sporting Lisbon prediction and betting tips on February 19, 2024
Game Prediction
There won’t be much football as usual on Monday. And this is a reason to look at not the most top tournaments such as the Portuguese Primeira, especially since Sporting Lisbon will come to Moreirense at this time. Will the leader from the capital of Portugal have any troubles achieving another victory? The website contains a detailed prediction for this match on February 19, 2024.
Moreirense returned to the top division of the country
“The Green and Whites” spent the previous season in the second league of Portugal. Still, it is reasonable to mention that it turned out to spend a successful period for this club before; moreover, it even won the only trophy in 85 years of history in the form of the League Cup in 2017. And, the team, having spent a year at a lower level, has quite decent options to show good performance in the Primeira. Nowadays, there are interesting statistics: victories and defeats have been alternated for 6 matches in a row. February, for instance, started with a 0-1 score in the battle against Braga, but then Chaves was beaten with the same score at the home arena. The higher mentioned result allows the club to confidently move to 6th position.
Sporting Lisbon is back in contention for the title
“The Lions” failed in the previous Primeira. Then they fell behind not only the traditional pair of competitors, but also behind Braga. Nowadays, Ruben Amorim’s team has noticeably improved the performance and does its best in the struggle for the title, primarily with neighbouring Benfica (Porto is slowly starting to fall behind). It is remarkable that “the Archbishops” have tripped them up again, knocking out “the White and Greens” in the semi-finals of the League Cup. By the way, the team played with them in the previous round and took more than convincing revenge – 5-0. Well, don’t forget about the beginning of the Europa League play-offs – the club went to compete with Young Boys just on Thursday. As for the confrontation in Bern, the Portuguese grandee actually removed the intrigue by winning with a 3-1 result.
Previous head-to-head matches
