Sporting CP will start the new season with the home clash against Rio Ave on Friday evening at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
We expect a dominant start to the new campaign from the reigning champions. They are worth backing to win in -2.5 Asian Handicap at the 2.20 odds.
Division’s top scorer from last season Viktor Gyokeres is 1.72 to score anytime on Friday, while the braver punters can chase Sporting Lisbon to win 4-1 at the 15.00 odds.
Sporting Lisbon clinched their landmark 20th Primeira Liga title last season. They’ve done it in some fashion, topping the division with a ten-point advantage on second-placed side.
Sporting are once again one of the main contenders for the silverware and we can by no means expect anything other than a commanding victory in their first game of the season.
The hosts go into this on the back of five wins and a draw in the previous six encounters with Rio Ave.
They’ve also looked great in pre-season, beating both Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao in recent exhibitions.
The same can’t be said for Rio Ave. They lost three and drew one of the last four friendlies despite facing much weaker rivals than Sporting CP in the process.
Despite serious interest for Viktor Gyokeres by many famous European teams, Sporting CP found a way to resist all the offers and keep their target man in the squad (at least for now).
Gyokeres topped the league’s scoring charts with 29 goals to his name in the previous term of Primeira Liga.
He looked inspired in a 3-4 extra-time defeat to FC Porto in the Portuguese Super Cup last weekend, delivering two assists on the occasion.
We like the 1.72 odds offered for Gyokeres to score anytime in the first home match of the new season.
The 4-1 correct score pick looks tempting at the 15.00 odds as we expect the hosts to cruise past their counterparts in a high-scoring encounter.
