Cova Piedade Sporting CP betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this clash will be the occurrence of a few goals. Sporting is aware of the lack of quality of the "enemy", however, these games have some tendency to be more complicated, and the home team makes its stadium a real fortress. Thus, a very conscious entry into the game is expected from Sporting. Note that in case of disadvantage on the scoreboard, Cova da Piedade will have to dismantle its defensive line, providing more space for the away team to attack.
