Chaves vs Sporting Prediction and Betting Tips | February 20th 2023

Chaves will host Sporting at the Estádio Municipal Eng. Manuel Branco Teixeira on Monday in another round of the Primeira Liga campaign.

The home side have had mixed results this season but have particularly struggled with results of late, although they remain hopeful of a top-half finish at the end of the season. They played out a goalless draw against Vizela in their last league outing and created chances to get on the scoresheet but failed to convert them.

Chaves sit ninth in the league table with 26 points from 20 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Monday.

Sporting have bounced back from their sluggish start to the season and are now on the hunt for Champions League football. They were beaten 2-1 by defending champions Porto in their last league outing before playing out a 1-1 draw against Midtjylland in their UEFA Europa League playoff clash on Thursday.

The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 38 points from 20 games. They will aim to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways next week.
