Sporting is undoubtedly the absolute favorite of the match – in class and experience, and the Lions have a huge advantage.

2.09both will score

Bet on total

Sporting plays attacking football, has already managed to get into excellent shape and has scored six goals in two official matches of the new season. Today the Lions will obviously also be aggressive in attack and Nacional will not be left without goals conceded. However, the White and Blacks are capable of responding with a goal at home, Sporting is far from ideal in defense.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered with odds of 2.09
