Betting tips for Sporting - Real Madrid match

If Real Madrid wants to win their group of the UEFA Champions League, they need to beat Sporting CP. Can they do that? Here are the bookmakers odds and our predictions for this game.

• Both To Score        57/100 (1.57)      

The Portuguese team is quite strong at home and should beat Keylor Navas at least once. Even more because Madrid defenders are lately playing rather badly. The Spanish giants did not lost a goal in only 2 / 15 of their last matches (including 6 away games in a row). We think that both teams will score in this game.
 

• I half over 1 goal        13/25 (1.52)      

There should be a few goals in this game (for instance, because of the absences in the Real Madrid squad). The odds for Over options in this match are quite low - 21/100 (1.21) odds for Over 2 option are in our opinion, a joke. That is why, we propose a much better option for Over 1 in the first half (void in case of one scored goal). It is difficult to imagine a goalless score before the break.
