Porto to win the game
FC Porto and Sporting CP have both dropped two points so far this season. Both teams have been unable to maintain the 100% record due to away matches. Both teams will have one eye on the upcoming Champions League group matches, but Sporting CP have the slender advantage of playing at home in the midweek. Porto have not had an away win over Sporting CP in the last two and they have just one away win over this opponent in the last six.
Total goals over 2.5
These are two teams who have been among the goals of late. Both have scored eight goals from the opening four matches. Even in recent past, this competitive encounter has produced a lot of goals with 16 in the last six. Even though the recent meeting between these two clubs was a goalless draw back in February, this will be a high-scoring fixture with both teams trading blows.
Goals from both teams – yes
The two teams have been solid in terms of their offensive strength. They have scored an average of two goals per game so far. Even though Sporting CP and FC Porto have difficult Champions League midweek matches against Ajax and Atletico Madrid, they are likely to be decent going forward.
