Sporting vs Estoril Praia Prediction and Betting Tips
Sporting host Estoril Praia at the Jose Alvalade on Monday (February 27) in the Primeira Liga.
The hosts have had mixed results this season but remain on course for UEFA Champions League football. Sporting returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-2 win at Chaves before beating Midtjylland 4-0 in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League knockout play-off in midweek. Sporting is fourth in the table with 41 points from 21 games.
Estoril, meanwhile, have endured a difficult season but remain hopeful of retaining their top-flight status for another season. In their last league game, they lost 3-1 to a disciplined Pacos de Ferreira side. Estoril couldn’t complain after struggling to create enough remarkable chances to change the result.
With only 22 points from 21 games, the guests are in 15th place in the table.

Sporting vs Estoril Praia Prediction
Sporting have enjoyed a run of consecutive wins and have lost just one of their last six games in all competitions. They have had problems at home lately but will calculate their chances against a much weaker Estoril side.
Estoril, on the other hand, have had a string of defeats in a row and have now lost five of their last six league games. They are without a win in their last eight away games in all competitions and could suffer a defeat here.
