Sporting CP v FC Porto Betting Tips [25 May 2019]
The match
The 2019 Taca de Portugal final will feature FC Porto and Sporting CP. There is no iota of doubt that Porto start this game as favourites, more because of the fact that they finished the regular domestic season 11 points ahead of Sporting in the Primeira Liga table. However, neither side was able to win the title and it was Benfica who ran away with the honours leaving these two sides to fight for the second and third. Both sides have excellent pedigree in the tournament, having won the Portuguese Cup on 16 occasions each. There is literally nothing separating these two, considering the win Porto had in the previous encounter (2-1). Sporting, however, will bring a lot of fighting abilities into the game. For Porto, this has been a season that promised a lot but delivered very little. To miss out on the title was heart-breaking, but to end the season trophy-less would compound their misery. For Sporting to continue their battling game, they would need the highly-rated Phellype to be at his scoring best. With the highly rated Bas Dost also in the line-up, Sporting could look to spring a surprise.
Key Statistics
- Sporting have won five of their last six matches in Taca de Portugal.
- Porto are unbeaten in their last six matches of the Taca de Portugal competition.
- Porto have scored at least two goals in their last four matches in all competitions.
The bet of our experts
Sporting Portugal gave a real threat to Porto in their previous game, though they played with just ten men for quite long periods. Although it is Porto who start this final as hot favourites, Sporting do have the right ammunition to keep it tight and win the game. Considering the way these sides have been close in the recent encounters, expect goals coming at both the ends.
