Betting on Pacos Ferreira
In their fight to avoid relegation, the Beavers achieved an important 2-1 victory as visitors against Vizela in the previous matchday. This important triumph was built from the first half, where they scored a transitional two-goal difference.
It was the first victory since March 11 and one that put an end to a negative run of five consecutive games without a win. With 20 points, they are in penultimate place and must continue racking up positive results to climb at least two positions, which would allow them to remain in the top flight.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Marafona; Juan Delgado, Erick Ferigra, Maracás, Antunes; Luíz Carlos, Paulo Bernardo, Nico Gaitán; Uilton, Nigel Thomas, Alexandre Guedes.
Betting on Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisboa has won two consecutive matches and three out of their last five, propelling them to fourth place in the league with 64 points and a potential spot in the upcoming Conference League.
In their previous match, the Lions defeated Famalicao 2-1 at home, with goals from Hidemasa Morita and Ricardo Esgaio. Keep an eye on Pedro Goncalves, who leads the team with 15 goals and nine assists. He’s sure to be a key player in their upcoming matches.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Antonio Adán; Goncalo Inácio, Sebastián Coates, Osumane Diomande; Hidemasa Morita, Manuel Ugarte, Ricardo Esgaio, Nuno Santos; Pedro Goncalves, Marcus Edwards, Trincao.
JefeBet Prediction
This match features two teams in very different situations. The home team urgently needs to keep winning to have a chance of staying in the Primeira Liga, while the visitors must secure a victory to stay in the top five of the standings.
Sporting Lisboa, with their better performances and fourth-best attack (61 goals scored), holds a significant advantage, making them the favorites to win in our opinion at JefeBet.
