Vitória Setúbal Sporting CP betting prediction

The away team comes to his 3^rd round of Group A in the 1^st position, with 6 points won, after 2 wins. In their debut in this group stage they won at home against Arouca by (1‑0). In the second round, they won at home against Varzim by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Sporting CP has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Sporting comes for this match after a 1-0 win at home against Varzim, registering the second consecutive triumph in official matches: the only leonine’s goal was scored by Gelson Martins. In this match against Vitória de Setúbal, the coach Jorge Jesus should keep the team in 4-4-2, favoring ball possession and organized attacks, but in some moments of the match he must play directly for Bas Dost: the Dutchman is the best scorer of the leonine team with 9 scored goals. Analyzing the previous 10 matches, it’s possible to verify that Sporting has some lack of effectiveness, as they scored on average 0.9 goals per match. For this match the visiting team’s coach won’t count on Bruno Paulista, Schelotto, Spalvis and Adrien Silva, players who are recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Beto, Ricardo Esgaio, Jefferson, Sebastián Coates, Douglas, William Carvalho, Elias, Lazar Marković, Bryan Ruiz, Luc Castaignos, Joel Campbell.
Coach: R. Amorim.
