Sporting Lisbon might be behind Porto in the race for the title, but the defending champions are sure to take the race down to the wire.

Their defense has been less stringent than last season and Pacos Ferreira's fine run of form means they are likely to get on the scoresheet. However, we are backing the home side to secure the win with goals at both ends.
