Moreirense vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction and Betting Tips | December 5th 2024 

Moreirense will host Sporting at the Parque de Jogos Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas on Thursday in the 13th matchday of the 2024-25 Primeira Liga campaign. The hosts will be hoping to capitalize on the visitors' recent disappointments and get an otherwise unlikely result.

Moreirense have won three of their last five league games after winning only two of the previous seven. The hosts will be disappointed to have failed to pick up a point against Rio Ave during the weekend after coming back from a 2-0 deficit to draw level at 2-2 before conceding a late winner in the 94th minute.

Sporting will be keen to return to winning ways following back-to-back home losses against Arsenal in the Champions League and Santa Clara in the league on Saturday. Prior to those matches, the visitors were unbeaten in all competitions and had not dropped points in any of their opening 11 league games.

They remain at the top of the table and will be motivated to pick up all three points as another loss could put them on equal points with rivals Porto.

Moreirense vs Sporting Prediction

Moreirense will need to be at their best to pick up a point against the league leaders and will hope their unbeaten league home record will be enough to earn them a point on Thursday night.

Sporting, despite their recent blip, have the quality to earn a comfortable victory when they travel to Moreira de Conegos. Newly hired manager Joao Pereira will only need to psychologically stimulate his team to return to their unstoppable form following the underwhelming past week.

Prediction: Moreirense 0-2 Sporting
