Sporting Lisbon vs Moreirense Prediction and Betting Tips | September 17th 2023

Sporting Lisbon will host Moreirense at the Jose Alvalade on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Primeira Liga campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a strong start to their league campaign and will fancy themselves early title contenders. They played out a 1-1 draw against Sporting Braga in their last game, with Pedro Goncalves curling home a first-half opener before their opponents leveled the scores in the second half.

Sporting sit third in the league table with 10 points from an obtainable 12 and will be looking to add to that tally when they play this weekend.

Moreirense have had mixed results on their return to the Portuguese top-flight but remain hopeful of safety. They were beaten 3-2 by Braga last time out in the league and had looked set to be headed toward a memorable 2-1 victory before their opponents scored twice in the final 10 minutes to snatch all three points.

The visitors sit mid-table in 10th place with four points. They will be looking to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways on Sunday.
