Sporting vs Bologna Preview and Team News
Sporting Team News
Under Rui Borges, Sporting continue to lead Liga Portugal and are in the playoff zone in the Champions League. In the League Cup, they reached the final but lost to Benfica in a penalty shootout.
A powerful assault led by Viktor Gyökeres is the primary weapon for the hosts. The Swede’s scoring streak now totals seven games in a row, during which the striker has recorded seven goals.
Goncalo Inacio has finally returned to the starting lineup. However, the participation of goalkeeper Rui Silva remains in question. The team’s newcomer regularly appears in the domestic championship but is still not included in the Champions League fixtures.
Sporting predicted lineup (4-4-2): Israel, Fresneda, Diomande, Inacio, Araujo, Catamo, Debast, Hjulmand, Quenda, Gyokeres, Trincao.
Bologna Team News
Bologna have been in superb form lately. They suffered only one defeat in their last eight matches and advanced to the Italian Cup quarter-finals.
In the Champions League, Bologna did not show the same success. Nevertheless, they produced one of the most memorable moments, beating Dortmund in the previous round.
Vincenzo Italiano is unlikely to change his plan. We anticipate seeing Samuel Iling-Junior from the first minute, who replaced Riccardo Orsolini during the game and scored the winning goal. Other than that, Remo Freuler will be missed due to yellow cards.
Bologna predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Skorupski, Holm, Beukema, Lucumi, Lykogiannis, Fabbian, Pobega, Iling-Junior, Ferguson, Ndoye, Castro.
Bet hereSporting vs Bologna Prediction
- Pick: Bologna +1.5 Handicap
- Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Sporting vs Bologna
Sporting have secured a place in the playoffs. However, the Champions League is famous for its unpredictable endings. We’ve seen plenty of instances where the underdogs have surprised the heavy favourites.
As it’s the last match for the guests, they’ll play on the pitch with the utmost motivation. Sporting will go for victory, but it won’t be simple against revitalised Bologna, who may not have a chance to qualify for the Champions League any time soon.
We think the visitors will put up a decent fight, preventing Sporting from achieving an easy victory. Our first pick for the game is Bologna to win (+1.5) handicap.
Sporting vs Bologna Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
Sporting are not a defensive team, and are always motivated to attack. Bologna will do everything to finish the Champions League campaign with a win, as they have nothing to lose.
Viktor Gyökeres has had a prolific 2024, and the Swedish forward will aim to increase his goalscoring tally. Bologna also have Iling-Junior, a talented youngster who can cause a lot of problems for Sporting with his technique and speed.
We anticipate a high-scoring affair, where the defence will not be a priority for the clubs. Our second pick here would be over 2.5 goals.
