Roma, led by Jose Mourinho, have played two friendlies in the pre-season ahead of their 2022-23 season thus far and have been victorious in both games, managing to keep two clean sheets.

They kicked off their pre-season with a 2-0 win over Sunderland, with Felix Gyan and Nicolo Zaniolo scoring in the second half. In their previous friendly game, goals from Filippo Trippi and Zaniolo helped them to another 2-0 win against Portimonense.

Sporting vs Roma Prediction

Sporting have played two low-scoring draws thus far as they have fielded a young squad in these games. Roma will provide a good challenge for them to test their preparations ahead of the 2022-23 campaign and we expect a few first-team players in the lineup here.

Mourinho usually brings first-team players on as second-half substitutes but might give them a chance in the starting lineup here. Roma are in fine form at the moment and should be able to secure a win here.

Prediction: Sporting 1-2 Roma
