Sporting vs Pacos Ferreira Prediction and Betting Tips

Sporting will welcome Pacos Ferreira to the Estádio José Alvalade in the Primeira Liga on Thursday as they resume their league campaign following the international break.

The hosts have recorded wins in their last two league outings, including a 2-1 away win over Famalicao last time around. Francisco Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves scored twice in quick succession just before the halftime whistle to give them a decisive lead.

Pacos Ferreira are the only team without a win to their name in the Primeira Liga this season and have lost their last five games, failing to score in three games in that period. In their previous outing, they fell to a 2-0 home loss against Vizela.

Sporting were in incredible form in the Taca da Liga and in the quarter-finals defeated Braga 5-0 last Tuesday. Pacos Ferreira, on the other hand, were eliminated from the group stage, failing to secure a win in their three games.
