Vizela vs Sporting CP prediction 18.01.2024

• Competition: Liga Portugal
• Date: Thursday, 18th January 2024
• Kickoff: 20:45 UTC / 21:45 CET
• Venue: Estádio do Vizela (Caldas de Vizela)

Vizela is expected to be involved in the relegation battle until the final rounds of the league. They’ve only managed to gather 13 points after half the season, which is three points short of safety. Ruben de la Barrera’s squad has only triumphed in one of their last seven games across all tournaments. They suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home against Boavista last weekend, despite dominating the match with 64% ball possession and 17 more shots than their opponents. However, Boavista made the most of their opportunities to secure a significant victory.

This season in Portugal, the title race is intriguing, with Sporting CP currently leading, boasting a one-point advantage over Benfica and five points over Porto. The team, under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, is on an impressive seven-game winning streak, the latest victory being a 3-0 triumph against Chaves on their turf. This stellar performance has boosted Sporting CP’s confidence as they prepare for their upcoming match against Vizela.

Despite Vizela’s recent string of solid performances, their last round performance exposed their weak defense. They are likely to face significant challenges when they go up against the formidable Sporting CP in the forthcoming match.
