Sporting Lisbon could be within one victory of securing the top-flight title in Portugal. Their much-needed success could come this weekend when they travel to FC Porto, but Sporting will also need Benfica to drop points this weekend if they are to end the round as the champions.

Liga Portugal Preview

The race for the top-flight title in Portugal could come to its conclusion this weekend, as Sporting Lisbon may end the round with the top prize. Sporting come into this round with a seven-point advantage over Benfica with four matches remaining, and their recent form on the field has been excellent after claiming victories in each of their last five. 

There continues to be a lot of speculation surrounding their coach, but that hasn’t put Sporting off track in their pursuit of the title. The Portuguese club have recorded 26 victories in their 30 matches this term, and they have dropped to just two defeats. It has been their stunning attacking play that has caught the eye, with Sporting having netted a staggering 87 goals this term. Their most recent win was a 3-0 home success against Vitoria.

FC Porto are still fighting for their own targets at this stage of the season, as they are looking to achieve a finish in the Europa League places. However, they come into this round level on points with Braga, meaning that a defeat could see them drop back to fourth. 

Porto’s recent form would be a concern ahead of this showdown, as they have claimed just one victory across their last four in the Portuguese top flight. But, their only win was registered in their previous outing against Casa Pia. Porto’s home form has remained strong, as they have lost just twice in 15 matches this term. 

FC Porto vs Sporting Head to Head

Sporting ended their poor league record against Porto earlier in the season after securing a 2-0 success. That victory ended a 13-match winless run against their rivals. However, Sporting are without an away victory against their rivals since April 2016. 

FC Porto vs Sporting Prediction

Sporting’s away record in this fixture would be a concern ahead of making selections this weekend. However, their league form this term could be the more important trend to follow, meaning that we will be siding with an away victory on Sunday.
