Sporting CP vs Santa Clara Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Liga Portugal on Saturday, 1 April 2023.
Sporting are on a four-game winning streak in the league, and apart from toppers Benfica, they are easily the best team in the competition at the moment.
Meanwhile, Santa Clara are placed bottom-most in the table, and are one of the only two squads in the league to have lost the last five games in a row.
The reverse fixture ended in a 1-2 win for Sporting, and they also won 13 of the past 14 overall clashes. And at this venue they have a 100% winning record since 2000, barring a single draw.
Sporting are going after a podium finish, and are on a long winning streak. They also have a perfect winning record at home in h2h clashes over the past 20 years, barring a single draw.
On the other hand, Santa Clara are placed dead last in the table, and are on a six-fixture losing streak. They are also on a winless run of 16 games.
It surely looks like hosts Sporting are about to deliver a dominant win this weekend.
Sporting scored two or more goals in six of their past seven overall fixtures, and they slotted in two or more goals in their past three appearances at home. They also scored eight goals from the past three h2h meetings at this venue.

Santa Clara failed to score in four of their past six road trips, while Sporting kept clean sheets in two of their previous three appearances at home. Santa Clara also failed to find the back of the net in three of their former five visits to this ground.
