Estoril vs Sporting tips and predictions

Won't be easy for Estoril

There's just 2 points separating the two clubs as second place Estoril get set to host fourth place Sporting.

If you like a big price this could be for you. There's worse things you can do than having a punt on the outsiders.

The hosts are coming into the match having racked up 6 wins from their last 8 games. Granted it will be a big shock to see Estoril upset the odds but they might just make a mockery of the lopsided prices.

Estoril are going to have to produce something out of this world. If the hosts are to really fancy their chances it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. This home team is in a bit of a purple patch on their own turf. They scored three or more goals in 8 of their recent 20 home matches and that's been compounded at the back. In defence they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 8 games.

Sporting can sometimes lose their shape. They're conceding an average of 2.3 goals in their last 3 matches. It could be a case of so near and yet so far the outsiders, but they really can do this.

The head-to-head looks good for the hosts. Estoril have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between the two teams.

The hosts can be pleased with their recent displays in several parts of the game and they'll need to hope that they can produce an extraordinary performance if they can really deny the visitors.

Despite the massive favouritism for Sporting it will be fun to see Estoril make a match of it. It might not be a popular opinion but the Yes BTTS bet is an unconfident side bet for this particular game. As far as the total goals line goes, it's three goals or more in this match considering the price on offer.
