Reigning champions Sporting Lisbon will look to carry their momentum from a dominant European outing into Monday evening’s Primeira Liga clash with Moreirense at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
The Lions began their Champions League campaign in emphatic fashion, dismantling Kazakh side Kairat Almaty, and now seek to build on that success in domestic action. However, they face a tricky assignment against an in-form side that has started the season brightly and arrives in Lisbon full of confidence.

Correct score prediction: Sporting 3-1 Moreirense
Although Vasco Botelho da Costa’s men have only suffered one defeat in five league outings this campaign, they face a daunting test in Lisbon. Sporting know they cannot afford any slip-ups after league leaders extended their advantage at the top to six points with a win over Rio Ave on Friday.
With history heavily in their favour and buoyed by continental success, the Lions are fancied to secure another three points, potentially by a margin similar to last season’s return fixture.
Pre-match analysis: Hosts heavily favoured to extend dominance
HOME: 1/5 (1.20) – 83.3%DRAW: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%AWAY: 11/1 (12.00) – 8.3%*Odds courtesy of Ladbrokes; subject to change.
While football often produces surprises, the bookmakers give Moreirense very little chance of an upset in Lisbon.
Sporting’s price of 1/5 (1.20) translates to an 83.3% probability of victory, underlining their heavy favouritism. A draw has been rated at 15.4%, while the visitors are afforded just an 8.3% chance of pulling off what would be a shock away win.
Our hot tip, backing the second half to deliver the most goals, is currently valued at 2.00 with Ladbrokes. Considering both sides’ recent tendencies for late action, this stands out as a valuable market to explore.
Most recent H2H: Another victory for the hosts?
The last encounter between these two sides ended 3-1 in favour of Sporting at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Moreirense had taken the honours in the reverse fixture, but history suggests the capital club usually hold the upper hand when the two meet.

2Sporting enter this match with morale soaring after a 4-1 dismantling of Kairat Almaty in the Champions League. That success followed a narrow 2-1 triumph over Famalicao in the league, putting the Lions back on track after a setback against Porto at the end of August.
The reigning champions are currently second in the standings, level on points with their visitors but ahead thanks to superior goal difference.
Daniel Braganca and full-back Nuno Santos remain sidelined through injury. Meanwhile, centre-back Ousmane Diomande and goalkeeper Rui Silva are considered doubtful, although Zeno Debast is expected to return after being rested in midweek. The Belgian defender will likely partner Goncalo Inacio in central defence.
Predicted XI: Virginia (GK), Araujo, Inacio, Debast, Fresneda, Hjulmand, Morita, Trincao, Pote, Quenda & Suarez

Moreirense have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, heading into this clash on the back of a 3-1 success over Rio Ave. That result provided the perfect answer to a disappointing loss at Gil Vicente the week prior.
Midfielder Vasco Sousa, who picked up a knock in the last outing, is expected to recover in time to feature again. However, the visitors remain without Rodri Alonso, Lawrence Ofori and Guilherme Liberato through injury. In addition, Diogo Travassos, who found the net against Rio Ave, will be unavailable due to his loan agreement with parent club Sporting.
Predicted XI: Secco (GK), Martinez, Marcelo, Maracas, Pinto, Stjepanovic, Sousa, Alan, Bondoso, Schettine & Tegui

Geovany Quenda celebrates hs goal against Kairat (Photo – Imago)Geovany Quenda made his first start of the season in last weekend’s win over Famalicao, where he set up a goal. The 18-year-old then built on that display with another impressive showing in midweek, registering both a goal and an assist.
As a result, Quenda is expected to be handed a third consecutive start on Monday, and it will be intriguing to see whether the young forward can maintain his momentum.
