An impressive campaign to this point for Sporting Lisbon continues on Saturday, as they will look to extend their advantage at the top of the standings. However, they could be made to work for maximum points when they travel to Famalicão.

 

• FC Porto vs Rio Ave Prediction: Liga Portuguese Match on 03.02.2024

Liga Portugal Preview

Sporting Lisbon have been one of the most impressive sides in the Portuguese top flight this season, as they look to capture the championship. They come into this weekend in stunning recent form after winning their last six matches, and they are currently a point clear at the top of the standings. Sporting will be looking to open up a four-point advantage before their rivals have the opportunity to respond on Saturday. 

The Portuguese side have been in excellent scoring form throughout the season, netting a league-high of 53 goals in 19 matches. That prowess in front of goal was evident once again last weekend, as they landed a massive 8-0 home win against Casa Pia. Viktor Gyokeres continued his dominant start to the season by netting a brace in that stunning home win.

Famalicão will take positives from their displays in the league to this point, but they will have questions to answer based on their recent outings in the competition. The Portuguese side have lost each of their last two, which has seen them drop to eighth in Liga Portugal. 

Meanwhile, they have recorded just five wins in the league this season, which is the fewest of any side in the top half of the standings. Their most recent loss was suffered away from home against Moreirense last weekend, with the hosts stealing the points inside the final ten minutes. 

Famalicão vs Sporting Lisbon Head to Head

Sporting have an excellent record in this fixture after winning each of the last four league clashes between the sides. That includes a 1-0 success in the previous meeting this season. The most recent win for Famalicão in this fixture was recorded back in March 2020. 

Famalicão vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction

Famalicão’s recent form would be a pressing concern ahead of this showdown in the Portuguese top flight this weekend. Sporting were extremely dominant in front of goal last weekend, and we could see them scoring another wide-margin victory to establish their dominance at the summit on Saturday.
