Sporting CP faces Estrela da Amadora in their Liga Portugal opener after a turbulent summer transfer window that saw numerous key players depart. Despite the squad changes, Sporting boasts a strong recent record, winning their last 13 meetings with Amadora and maintaining a formidable pre-season performance. Experts predict a high-scoring contest, with Sporting likely to prevail but concede at least once, suggesting bets on BTTS (Both Teams To Score), over 3.5 goals, and a Sporting win. Luis Suarez's form should play a decisive role in securing the points for Sporting.

It has been a busy transfer window for Sporting CP, most of their top players sold and more set to depart.

I think Amadora can find a goal at home, but the Lions’ squad strength should come to the fore in the end.

HTH - Sporting on a Streak


Sporting CP have won the previous 13 encounters against Estrela da Amadora to lead 28-4 alongside eight draws.

New Manager for Amadora


Estrela da Amadora survived by the narrowest of margins last season, avoiding the relegation playoff on goal difference. They lost 16 of their 34 Liga matches, winning only six times.

Pepa returns to Portugal to become the new manager, replacing Cristiano Bacci. His side haven’t been beaten in their last four preseason friendlies. 

The run ended with a 4-2 victory over Al Nassr thanks to goals from Leandro Antonetti, Abraham Marcus, Sydney van Hooijdonk and Beni Souza.

Seven Straight for Sporting 


Sporting were unable to make it three straight Liga Portugal titles, finishing second behind Porto. They blew a fantastic chance to win the Portuguese Cup, going down to Torreense in the final.

The Lions had a perfect preseason, winning all seven matches. They took on some strong teams, defeating Celtic 4-1, Strasbourg 7-0, Monaco 2-0 and Nottingham Forest 4-1.

Rui Borges’ side ended the run against 1.º Dezembro, winning 4-0 with Luis Suárez scoring the final goal.

Verdict

Sporting start the season with many new players after a summer of upheaval. They could find it tough to keep a clean sheet in Amadora, but with Luis Suarez up front, the Lions should take all three points.
