Our Prediction for Sporting Lisbon vs Estrela Amadora
After a disappointing season prior to last, Sporting chose to keep faith in Rúben Amorim, who led them to a thrilling title race victory over Benfica. Estrela, who secured promotion to the Primeira Liga through playoff matches in 2023, managed to finish in 14th last season. However, this season, the "Tricolours," even with Nani’s return to his roots, have been struggling. They only achieved their first win on the seventh attempt, following two draws, before suffering a 0-3 defeat to Gil Vicente and a 2-2 draw with Vitória Guimarães.
For Sporting, the fixture list has been intense, with Champions League commitments, where they’ve had a strong start with wins against Lille and Sturm Graz and a draw at PSV Eindhoven. Domestically, despite an early stumble in the Super Cup, they took revenge over Porto and have been dominant ever since. They recently beat Famalicão 3-0 in the league and followed it up with a cup win.
Sporting’s statistics are some of the best across top leagues: scoring more than three goals per match and conceding only twice. Their opponent, sitting in the relegation zone, has averaged just 0.6 goals scored per match while conceding a full goal more.
