Sporting CP vs FC Porto Betting Tips - BTTS

Locked together at the top of the division with 31 points from 13 matches played, an exciting and competitive contest is to be expected on Monday. 

After away defeats at Barcelona and Estoril, Porto have responded well with high-scoring home wins against Casa Pia and Shakhtar. Sérgio Conceição´s side have seen over 2.5 goals scored in their last five matches while four of those games saw BTTS. Los Dragões fans were treated to an eight-goal thriller in their last match with a 5:3 win against Shakhtar securing their place in the Champions League round of sixteen. 

Spotting enters Monday´s big match having also delivered consistently high-scoring matches this season. Rúben Amorimñ´s side have seen at least three goals scored in eight of their last nine matches while seven of those also saw BTTS. In their most recent league match, Sporting slipped to a 3:2 defeat at Vitoria Guimaraes before a 3:0 win against Sturm in the Europa League last Thursday. 

Historically, this fixture has been an entertaining one, particularly when played in Lisbon. Seven of the last eight meetings between these great rivals at the Estádio José Alvalade saw BTTS while four of their six most recent contests also saw over 2.5 goals scored. Porto have had the better of recent matches with victory in each of their last five matches against Sporting over the past two seasons.

All things considered, BTTS has to be the best pick with Porto potentially edging to a narrow away win.
