Porto – Sporting Lisbon Tip Liga Portugal, Matchday 21 on Monday, 09/02/26 at 21:45 CET
I don’t want to talk about a preliminary decision in the Portuguese championship fight, but if the SCP loses the top game against the rival, then the otherwise great atmosphere in their own clubhouse will certainly darken abruptly!
In view of what the table situation as well as the data seem to point to, I expect an extremely uneventful first half of the game on Monday evening at the Estadio do Dragao, in which the motto seems to be: Just don’t make a mistake!
1st half: Under 0.5 goals will therefore adorn my betting slip at odds around 2.60 together with a matching Oddset Boost. But beyond that, I’ll tell you one or two additional Porto Sporting Lisbon predictions below that could also be worth putting to the test!
Porto vs. Sporting Lisbon AI Predictions:
While I opted for a more daring option, our Porto Sporting Lisbon AI prediction suggests an alternative to my half-time bet that carries significantly less risk.
In the event of a zero number, you will receive odds of around 1.70 on average, and if you hit exactly one goal, you will at least be refunded your own stake! Ideal for a longer bet slip with several comparable scenarios!

If the game doesn’t end with a clean sheet, the tempo will pick up in the second half – I see that exactly the same way as our data model. SCP can’t be satisfied with a split of points.
Highest scoring half: I like the 2nd half at odds around 2.15 because I can still remember the script from the first half of the season very well.
It was 0-0 at half-time, before the game went off after the restart and Porto had the upper hand with 2-1.
2nd half: Facing both could turn out to be one of the most lucrative football bets on Monday evening. After all, if successful, you can expect three to four euros in winnings for every euro wagered!
