Sporting Lisbon vs Amarante prediction and betting tips on November 22, 2024

Game Prediction

In the Round of 32 of the Portuguese Cup on November 22, 2024, Sporting Lisbon will face Amarante. The match looks like a warm-up for the giant before their Champions League clash, but the format of the tournament often allows for unexpected surprises.
Our prediction for the match Sporting Lisbon vs Amarante
The "Lions" slipped to fourth place in the Primeira Liga in 2023. However, the club’s management demonstrated faith in Rúben Amorim, retaining him as head coach. That decision paid off last season when the club won the championship title, beating their neighbor Benfica to the top spot.
This season has also been favorable for the "Green and Whites." Although they lost the Super Cup to Porto despite quickly gaining a three-goal lead, they have displayed remarkable form: 11 wins in the Superliga with a cumulative score of 39-5 (including 16 goals from Gyökeres), and 10 points in four Champions League matches, including a 4-1 victory over Manchester City. However, this was under Amorim, who has since taken charge at Manchester United.
The "Black and Whites" have peaked in Portugal’s second division. However, they’ve experienced relegations as low as the fourth tier and currently play in the third division. While not particularly dominant, they are among the leaders in their group, keeping their promotion hopes alive. Additionally, they’ve defeated three opponents in the cup, earning the right to play in the capital.
