Sporting CP will aim to maintain their chances of securing their first Primeira Liga title in three years as they welcome Estoril Praia on Tuesday night.
The hosts have witnessed Porto and Benfica claim the previous two league championships, yet this season’s outcome is in their control. Currently, Rúben Amorim’s team leads the table with 37 points from 15 matches and enters Friday’s match riding a four-game victory streak.
Estoril Praia, one of the Portuguese teams primarily focused on avoiding relegation, successfully ended the 2022-23 campaign just two spots away from the relegation zone. This season seems to be progressing positively for them. Vasco Seabra’s team currently holds a position in the top half of the table, having celebrated six victories in their last eight matches across all competitions. They even managed to defeat Porto twice during this period.
Sporting CP vs Estoril Praia Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Sporting boasts the top offensive line in this division, although their defense needs significant improvement. Rúben Amorim’s squad has let in more goals than any other team in the top three and only managed to prevent goals in two of their past twelve matches. Ten out of these games concluded with a minimum of three goals.
Estoril has a strong goal-scoring capability, having scored in their last eight matches and more than once in half of them. Only two of these games resulted in losses for ‘under 2.5 goals’ bets.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Sporting CP team news
Sebastián Coates, who has been absent from the last three games due to injury, will once again not be available for Sporting Cp head coach Rúben Amorim.
There is also uncertainty about Luís Neto’s condition after the defender was substituted at half-time during last weekend’s victory over Portimonense.
Viktor Gyökeres is only trailing by three goals behind Braga's Banza, the current leader in the race for the golden boot in this division. Additionally, Gyökeres has contributed five assists.
