Famalicao vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction and Betting Tips | February 4th 2024

Famalicao will host Sporting Lisbon at the Municipal Stadium Famalicão on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.

The home side have endured a difficult run of results in the league in recent weeks but remain well on course to avoid the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by Moreirense in their last league outing, falling behind in the final 10 minutes of normal time after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.

Famalicao sit mid-table in 10th place with 22 points from 19 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.

Sporting Lisbon, meanwhile, have performed brilliantly in the Primeira Liga this season and are looking to return to the pinnacle of Portuguese football. They carried out an 8-0 demolition of Casa Pia in their game on Monday, marking their second 8-0 win of the campaign as the trio of Sebastian Coates, Viktor Gyokeres and former Barcelona man Francisco Trincao all netted braces.

The visitors sit atop the Primeira Liga standings with 49 points picked up so far and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top with another win on Sunday.
