Sporting CP vs Vitória SC

With the title race over, Sporting CP's season now hinges on finishing second and securing Champions League football. A home win against Vitória Guimarães at the Estádio José Alvalade on matchday 32 is non-negotiable. Sporting have endured a wretched April — Champions League exit, three winless league outings, and a 2-2 draw with Tondela last time out. Key absentees Morten Hjulmand, Gonçalo Inácio, and Fotis Ioannidis add to the concern. Vitória arrive in fine form under Gil Lameiras — unbeaten in four, with Gustavo Silva and Samu combining for eight goal contributions in five games. That pair could expose a Sporting backline that has kept just one clean sheet in their last seven. Away from home, though, Vitória have been inconsistent in 2026, picking up maximum points in just three of eight away trips. Sporting's record of scoring in every one of their 31 league games this season should tell in the end. Our prediction: 2-1
