Sporting still on track - Forecast & analysis

Before this Sporting - Porto betting tip, Sporting Lisbon have picked up exactly where they left off in the previous season: with victories. Three match days have already been played in the Portuguese league and the top favorites for the title are once again at the top of the table. It doesn't seem too bad that they had to say goodbye to their absolute key player, Viktor Gyökeres, in the summer to the Premier League (Arsenal), with others stepping into the breach. In addition, Sporting were not inactive on the acquisition side, but more on that later. In this betting tip analysis, let's first look at the home team's most recent results. There is one thing to say up front: Sporting haven't had any really big opponents yet, and the clash with Porto will be the first touchstone. However, it must be said that they have more than mastered their previous tasks. Sporting beat Casa Pia 2-0 away at the start of the season, followed by a sensational 6-0 win over Arouca in their first home game of the season, and they also came out on top against CD Nacional last weekend, winning 4-1. With a goal difference of 12-1 in the first three games, a goal or two should also be possible on Saturday.

As promised, we take a closer look at the home side's squad in this Sporting - Porto betting tip. It seems that Trincao and Goncalves have made up for the departure of Gyökeres. Both are on 3 goals after 3 games. With Suarez, Vagiannidis and Rui Silva, Sporting have strengthened various positions, but in addition to the aforementioned Gyökeres, they have also had to sell Essugo to Chelsea and Edwards to Burnley. So far, however, this does not seem to be reflected in performances or results. However, coach Rui Borges is struggling with injury concerns early in the season. According to our information, several players will not be available next Saturday, especially players from the midfield, such as Braganca, Morita and Araujo. Central defender Diomande is also unlikely to be available due to a muscle injury.

Porto want to continue convincing - Betting forecast & expert tips

FC Porto are also on cloud nine in terms of results ahead of this Sporting - Porto betting tip, so more top game is hardly possible. The men from the port city have also had a flawless start to the new season so far, are on 9 points after 3 games and could even take over the lead in the table if they win in Lisbon on Saturday. That should be incentive enough to leave everything on the pitch in this encounter. In the case of Porto, let's first take a look at the results achieved so far. Here we can see that the program completed before this Sporting - Porto betting tip in the case of the visitors was - at least in our opinion - somewhat more demanding than that of the title winners. Porto defeated Guimaraes 3-0, they celebrated a 2-0 away win against Gil Vincente and won 4-0 against Casa Pia last weekend. This game also provides a good indicator for your Sporting - Porto betting tip. Because, as already mentioned, Sporting won 2-0 against the same opponent, albeit away from home. All in all, Porto even have a slight advantage in terms of results. All the more reason to look at the head-to-head between the two teams. This again speaks more in favor of the home side from the capital.

From Porto's point of view, they have not won any of their last three encounters, with one draw and two defeats. Interesting in terms of soccer betting tips: A betting strategy on less than 2.5 goals would always have been crowned with success in these three cases. Porto are also without three very important alternatives on Saturday with Pepe, Aghehowa & Fernandes, especially the former was one of the guarantors of success for coach Francesco Farioli's team with two goals so far. However, Farioli has also had several new players at his disposal since this summer, with Froholdt, Veiga and Costa making the move to Porto.

What is our betting prediction?

We can expect a match at the highest tactical level. Overall, we see chances for both teams, but due to Porto's absences, we expect a (narrow) home win for Sporting. So our recommendation: bet 1.
