Sporting needs to bounce back from their midweek home loss to Arsenal. The Primeira League leaders host Santa Clara who are fourth but 12 points below them. Here’s our match prediction.
The leaders have won all 11 of their league games this season and have a lead at the top. Only five goals have been conceded in 11 games, the same number Arsenal put past them on Tuesday.
Home form has produced five wins with 15 goals scored and only two conceded. They’ve gone 29 home league games without defeat, last losing in February 2023. It’s 32 games in this league since they were last beaten. They have had a managerial change after Almiron left to join Manchester United.
Santa Clara have won seven of their 11 league fixtures. They have won their last two league and cup games, both by a 1-0 scoreline. Their league form has been a bit inconsistent of late with two wins and a couple of defeats.
On the road, they have won two and lost three. A 4-1 defeat at Benfica indicates they struggle against the very best in the league. Their last three league games have all been lost and we tip Sporting to make that four and lead at half and full time.

Our Sporting Lisbon vs Santa Clara Prediction
Sporting had a terrible midweek Champions League result but are far more at home in their domestic competition. They have won all 11 of their Primeira League fixtures and have a six point lead at the top of the table.
Santa Clara are also going well but struggle on their travels. Their last three away league games have all ended in defeat with seven goals conceded. Our Sporting v Santa Clara prediction is Sporting to win and to lead at half and full time.
