Current form Vitória Setúbal
Vitória Setúbal is one of the teams with the lowest average market share in the Portuguese Liga NOS. Accordingly, one was also one of the hottest candidates for a relegation place from the beginning of the season 2017/2018. A fear that is true to the current state of things. After 19 rounds you have only 13 points on the account, so is not surprisingly in the relegation zone. Taillight only Estoril was even less successful with 12 points, but also finished a game less. Just a few weeks ago, you met the absolute key of the table cellar. Although Setúbal were able to draw a 2-2 draw which marked the start of a series of unbeaten matches that have since been played in three matches, they never won at that time. Even against Tondela (1: 1) and Moreirense (2: 2) it was not enough for a complete success. All in all, there are only two meager achievements on the credit side after 18 rounds, so we see little reason to hope that this will change, of all things, against the leaders. This has several reasons: On the one hand, the table penultimate has yet conceded in every single (!) Season Match at least one goal, on the other hand before the three draws mentioned six games in series (!) Lost. The last victory was on October 21st of the year 2017, in total it is already 9 championship games without any success. The first duel with Sporting Lisbon, however, gives some reason for hope, after all, one could keep up in the capital at 0: 1 away, had to accept the decisive goal only in minute 86 and also from a penalty. They also celebrated both victories in their own stadium so far and were much more successful in defensive and offensive home games than away. 11 goals could be scored at home, which means you have more than one goal per game, and you also scored in each of the nine matches away by 6 more than your own audience. With Joao Amaral you also currently have a striker, who is apparently in very good shape, met against Moreirense in a double. On the other hand, it is likely that Djalo, Bonilha and Semedo will all fail. Incidentally, the last three games meant only the second time in the current season that Setúbal could hit at least once in three matches in a row, accordingly, the penultimate is also on Friday a goal quite daring.

Current form Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Lisbon can look back on an incredible season so far. If one analyzes the balance sheets of the current Portuguese league leaders, they themselves must not shy away from comparison with top international teams. For: Sporting is still undefeated after 18 matchdays, even teams like PSG or Manchester City could not lay down such a long series, although they remained unbeaten for a long time. The captains defeated Avés 3: 0, before that there was a 5: 0 against Maritimo Madeira. Accordingly, you could guess for Friday to a bet tip on a “to-zero-success” against the table penultimate. However: The last away appearance ended in a loss of points for the leader. It should be noted, however, that it was about The Derby against Benfica (1: 1), which was well scheduled in our Oasis Bet Tips in the form of Over / Under Bet. A similar would be on Friday quite well. Why? In previous duels with Setúbal, Sporting Lisbon has been able to score more than 2.5 in many cases. In fact, this has been the case in 6 of the last 10 duels. In fact, Benfica has lost only one of these ten clashes, and in addition to that draws eight wins. However, it should also be noted that the league leaders are not quite as accurate as they are at home. In 8 away games Jorge Jesus’ team scored 18 goals and conceded 6. For comparison: At home you met in ten games 23 times and had only 4 goals conceded. A “Zero Victory” would also make the fact an interesting and not unlikely betting tip, since Sporting could win more than 50 percent of the 18 previous championship games without conceding a goal, in absolute terms it was 10 games with one Victory ended without conceding. In addition, Sporting can almost fall back on his entire squad on Friday. Currently only Jonathan Silva is struck. Strong: In six of the last seven games against Setubal Sporting could celebrate the aforementioned successes without conceding. For a bet bet in the form of an over / under bet and more than 2.5 goals speaks the fact that this value has been reached or exceeded in six of the last seven home games of the table penultimate. With Bas Dost, the captains provide the currently best scorer in the league NOS, the Dutch has scored 19 goals in 18 games, is therefore the hottest in terms of goalscoring.

Forecast and Bet Tip
We expect a dominant appearance from Sporting Lisbon. However, it could be tough again against an opponent who is sure to pay attention to a strong defense. A win for the favorites seems almost certain to increase the odds, but we would argue for an over / under bet. Our bet tip is therefore: Over 2.5 goals.
