Estrela vs Sporting CP tips and predictions

Estrela price could be too big for Liga Portugal clash

Estrela have been written off and that isn't news to anyone. But the visitors are just too short a price. They will probably get the job done but they are unbackable.

The hosts go into the match having registered 2 home wins from their last 3.

Estrela are going to have to produce something out of this world. While ultimately probably not enough to change the result of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. These home players have found some form. They have scored three or more goals in 2 of their recent 3 home matches and that's been backed up throughout the squad. In their current run they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 3 home games.

There have been periods when Sporting CP have lost their shape and they haven't had the required tools near the 18-yard line. They have conceded at least once in 7 of their last 8 matches. Despite these stats highlighting vulnerability at the back, be cognizant of the fact that this isn't overwhelming evidence for their decline. Don't get it twisted - they're the favourites for a reason.

Despite the vehement favouritism for Sporting CP it will be great to see Estrela catch them napping. It isn't the best value you'll read about today but the Yes BTTS bet is the hesitant side bet. As far as the goal line is concerned, it's fewer than four goals that's the play considering the current odds.
