The last time the two clubs met in a cup game was just under five years ago. At that time, Sporting prevailed 1-0 against the guests from Póvoa de Varzim in their own stadium and was unbeaten for the sixth time in a row against their upcoming opponents.

If you consider how weak the second division team presented themselves before the international break, there are hardly any arguments that would confirm a prognosis for the guests at Sporting Lisbon against Varzim.

Sporting Lisbon - stats & current form
The Lions from Lisbon have not lost a single competitive game since September 2021. The last time there was a defeat against BVB in the group stage of the premier class, Sporting Lisbon has taken eight wins in a row since then. The reigning Portuguese champions were able to largely compensate for the mixed start to the season.
Free soccer predictions
In the Primeira Liga, Sporting Lisbon is level with the leaders from Porto on points. In addition, the lions still have the entry into the second round of the premier class after the recent dropout from BVB in their own hands.

After the international break, Sporting Lisbon will now continue in the cup competition for the time being. In the Taca de Portugal there is a compulsory task for the second in the table in the Primeira Liga in the round of 32. In the Estádio José Alvalade, the second bottom of the Portuguese second division will be received.

Is the home strength also underpinned with a B-Elf?
At home, the Lions have only lost one home game this calendar year, regardless of season or competition. That defeat came for the Lisbon team at the home game against Ajax Amsterdam. Since the home bankruptcy against the Dutch record champions, Sporting has won five home wins in a row across all competitions.

In four of their five home games, Sporting did not concede. Including the last home game in the premier class against Besiktas, in which the Lions even scored four goals. We are by no means ruling out a win at high altitude in the cup game against Varzim SC. There is enough offensive power for that in Sporting's second guard.

Ruben Amorim will probably spare many top performers in the match against the second division side. After all, the trend-setting match against BVB is scheduled for the next week. Although a B-Eleven on Thursday evening is obvious, there are only odds of 1.13 for tip 1 for a win by Sporting Lisbon against Varzim.

Expected formation of Sporting Lisbon:
Virginia - Esgaio, Feddal, Reis - Esteves, Braganca, Ugarte, Vinagre - Tabata, Tomas, Cabral
Varzim - Statistics & Current Form
Varzim SC is surprisingly in the round of 32 in the Taca de Portugal. As penultimate in the Portuguese second division, the Seewolfe were able to eliminate a first division team in the last round of the cup. Because Maritimo Funchal, penultimate in the Primeira Liga table, was by no means the caliber of Sporting, the cup coup should not be overrated.
Free soccer tips
The sea wolves are still in free fall. Since the cup win against Maritimo Funchal, Varzim SC has last been without a win four times in a row. During this period, the sea wolves lost three times, only in the last match against the reserve from FC Porto did the protégés of head coach António Barbosa score. However, the starting position in the table remains unchanged.

As penultimate in the table, Varzim SC is fighting relegation. Currently, the gap to the saving bank is only three points, but relegation this season is rather questionable. So far, the sea wolves have only recorded one victory in the Portugal 2 league. That success came in their own stadium. Away, however, Varzim remained largely harmless
Free soccer picks
Sea wolves without a chance in a foreign country?
In this competitive season, António Barbosa's team has only won once abroad. Varzim lost three of a total of seven away games this season. Before the draw at the reserves from FC Porto, Varzim had two away losses in a row.
Free soccer tips
It would therefore be all the more surprising if the reigning Portuguese champions succeeded in a coup in their current away form. Betting fans who still want to dare an outsider tip can pick up odds of 23.00 in the event of success at Sporting Lisbon vs. Varzim. However, a prognosis is more than daring.
In Lisbon, head coach Barbosa is largely available to all players. Only Rodrigo Rego is missing from the Portuguese. There are no further failures to complain about with the guests.

Betting base forecast & Portugal Sporting Lisbon - Varzim Portugal tip
Against the second division side from Póvoa de Varzim, Sporting Lisbon shouldn't have too much trouble with a second guard. After all, the guests in Liga Portugal 2 are currently on the penultimate place in the table and have also been in free fall since the cup coup against Maritimo Funchal.
Free soccer picks
The sea wolves have not won any of their last four competitive games. After three defeats in a row, where Varzim SC also remained without a goal, there was at least a small break with the away draw at the reserves of FC Porto. In the current condition, there is hardly anything to be said for an away coup at Sporting.
