  • Venue: Estádio José Alvalade (Lisbon)

After winning the title last season, Sporting CP have a good chance to add more silverware. They share the top positions on the table, and every point could be crucial. Sporting CP are in fantastic form with seven points from eight matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Santa Clara. In the hard-fought victory, the teams were pretty even, but Sporting CP's better efficiency made the difference between the teams. 

Moreirense can be satisfied with the 2024/25 season. They are a mid-table team, which will not change in the final five league rounds. Moreirense were on a good run lately, with five games in a row without defeat. However, in the previous match, Moreirense lost 2-0 at home against Rio Ave. In one of the worst performances in the last few months, Cristiano Bacci's team finished with xG of only 0.36, so they couldn't expect much. Moreirense have to show much more to even have some chances on Friday against Sporting CP.  

Sporting CP vs Moreirense pick: Under 2.5 goals 

Sporting CP have an impressive defense. They allowed only one of the last four matches. On the other hand, Moreirense scored only six goals in the previous seven games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals in the upcoming tie at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
