Sporting CP's home record this season is formidable. W13 D2 L2 from 17, scoring 3.0 goals per game at home. Alverca, by contrast, have struggled on the road (W3 D4 L10 from 17 away). That imbalance is hard to ignore.
Goals look likely here. Sporting CP average 2.6 per game (3.0 at home) and Alverca chip in with 1.0 (1.0 away). Defensively, Sporting CP concede 0.6 at home and Alverca leak 1.7 on the road. We make it 67% for three or more goals. One of the stronger cases for goals today. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 44%. Their past meetings back this up. These two average 3.8 goals when they meet, with 2 of the last 4 producing three or more.
Sporting CP are in great shape right now, banging in 2.6 a game and only letting in 0.7. They're strong at both ends, so they tend to boss games and don't give much away at the back.
In the last 4 meetings: Sporting CP have won 3, Alverca 1, with 0 draws. These fixtures average 3.8 goals per game. 2 of the last 4 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Alverca 1-4 Sporting CP, Sporting CP 2-0 Alverca, Sporting CP 5-1 Alverca.
