Betting on Sporting Lisboa
CR7’s Alma Mater is five points away from the Champions League qualifiers , and it obviously wants to add more points to its tally. Luckily, its upcoming matches are not too complicated, except for the game against Benfica, which, by then, could already be the champion of the competition.
Currently, Sporting Lisbon is five points behind Braga, meaning that if it slips up, the race for the Champions League spot could get very intense. Sporting has gone seven games without losing, but its direct rivals have also been consistent, so it has not been able to move from fourth place since matchday 13.
This team has a great offense and, even better, a solid defense. In fact, it has only conceded 26 goals this season and has only had their goal breached seven times at home. It is almost impossible to get past its defense. However, the team comes into this match a bit hurt by the loss it suffered to Juventus. Nevertheless, this match could be the perfect opportunity for the team to bounce back on its feet.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Antonio Adán; Jeremiah St. Louis; Jeremiah St. Louis. Juste, Sebastián Coates, Gonçalo Inacio; Ricardo Esgaio, Hidemasa Morita, Pedro Gonçalves, Nuno Santos; Marcus Edwards, Youssef Chermiti, Francisco Trincao.
Betting on Arouca
Currently, the Arouca team is occupying one of the Conference League’s spots, but it is only three points ahead of Vitoria, who has not been able to win three points in four matches. This has helped Arouca maintain its European dream alive, but the team will have to improve if it wants to make it there by itself.
This team has not lost in its last six matches, and has won the last two it has played. That is what has kept it relatively close to Sporting. With seven games remaining, anything can happen, but it is unlikely that it will be able to climb up positions. Arouca’s last two matches have been nail-biters, like the 1-0 win against Famalicao with the goal being scored in the 93rd minute, and a 1-0 win against Marítimo at home, where the team scored in the first half of the match and endured the remaining 70 minutes.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Ignacio de Arruabarrena; Tiago Esgaio, Joao Basso, Nino Galovic, Mateus Quaresma; David Simao, Oriol Busquets; Antony Alves, Alan Ruiz, Morlaye Sylla; Rafa Mujica.
JefeBet Prediction
At home, Sporting is unbeatable, as it does not concede goals. In 13 matches played, it has recorded 11 victories, and this is what will make the difference because Arouca has only won four away matches. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that Sporting Lisbon will win and attempt to climb up to third place.
Prediction: Moneyline Sporting Lisboa (SPO 2-0 ARO).
