Sporting Lisbon vs Porto Predictions

As the footballing season kicks back into gear, the first pieces of silverware of the 2024/25 season are up for grabs. In Portugal the domestic super cup will take place between Sporting Lisbon and FC Porto.

Sporting Lisbon

Sporting Lisbon won the Liga Portugal last season in stunning fashion thanks to the heroic acts of Viktor Gyokeres, who's still could potentially leave this summer to the Premier League with Arsenal.

Gyokeres scored 34 goals for Sporting Lisbon last season, also getting himself 12 assists for his teammates in his first season in the Portuguese capital.

The man behind their success, Ruben Amorim, has stayed with the Lions as well, which is massive boost for their chances of not only winning the Super Cup but also retaining the League title.

Porto

Last season was by no means perfect for Porto. For the first time in eight years they failed to finish in the top two in the Liga Portugal and also had to say goodbye to manager Sergio Conseicao.

However, Porto did win the Taca de Portugal trophy, qualifying for them for this years super cup, and they won it against Amorim's Sporting Lisbon.

In that match at the end of last season, Porto won 2-1 with goals scored by Evanilson and Mehdi Taremi. Unofrtunately, Taremi has since left the club on a free transfer to join Italian Champions Inter Milan.

Conseicao has been replaced by Vitor Bruno who has got Porto to win all five of their pre-season matches, only conceding once in the process.

The real test for Bruno's Porto, however, is the Super cup against the Portuguese champions.
