Sporting vs Portimonense betting tips

Sporting is 1st on the table with 51 points from 19 played matches. They are ten points ahead of the next team on the table, Porto. Sporting has 16 wins and three draws with a 40:10 goal difference. At home, they have a 7-2-0 record and 18:5 goal difference. 

Sporting is playing brilliantly at the moment. They won the last seven matches in a row in all competitions. In the previous game, Sporting won 2-0 at home against Ferreira. The home team got the lead in the 20th minute when Joao Mario found the net from the penalty spot. Three minutes into the second half, Joao Palhinha doubled the lead for Sporting, so it was clear that the league leaders will record another win. 

Portimonense is 12th on the table with 19 points. They have a 5-4-10 record and 18:24 goal difference. On the road, Portimonense has 1-2-7 and 7:16. 

Sporting has a good defence. They allowed only one goal in the last five matches that they played. 

Portimonense were on the run of four matches without a win until the last Sunday, when they won 4-1 at home against Gil Vicente. The home team played well in the first half, so they had a 2-1 lead at halftime. In the second half, they scored two more goals, so they finally won all three points. 

The home team will win in this game, but the odds for the Sporting's win are too low, so I will try with both teams to score - NO in this match. My correct score prediction is a 2-0 win for the home side.
