Sporting CP vs Nacional Prediction (25.01.2025)

Sporting are in excellent form, leading the Primeira Liga standings with a three-point advantage over Benfica. The "Lions" are extremely strong at home, where they have won seven out of their eight home matches this season. In their last match, they demolished Rio Ave 3-0 away and will aim to solidify their position at the top with another convincing victory.

The guests from Nacional are at the bottom of the performance table away from home, without a win in 17 consecutive away matches in the Primeira Liga. Despite their 3-1 victory against ABC in the last round, their defense remains vulnerable, especially against strong opponents like Sporting. Their weaknesses in defense are particularly evident against teams with high attacking efficiency.

Considering Sporting's dominance both in the league and in the previous match between the two teams, which ended with an impressive 6-1 result, a victory in both halves for the hosts seems like a likely outcome. Sporting's stable defense and powerful attack, led by the incredible Victor Gókeresh, support this choice. It is expected that the "Lions" will impose control from the beginning of the match and dominate in both halves.
