Form: DWWWW
Sporting CP are the current leader in the Primeira Liga table. They have accumulated 79 points from 33 games and are level on points with Benfica, thanks to a better goal differential.
The Lions could have been one set closer to retaining the league title on Saturday against Benfica in the derby. They scored the opening goal four minutes inside the first half thanks to Trincao's effort, with Viktor Gyokeres providing the assist. However, they couldn't hold on to that lead as they conceded a 63rd-minute equalizer to be held to a 1-1 draw.
So far, they have been a difficult opponent to beat, going 20 games without defeat. During this period, they had 13 times, with seven ending in stalemates. When playing at home, they are unbeaten in ten games and are currently riding a two-match winning streak heading into this clash.

Sporting CP vs Vitoria de Guimaraes match prediction 17 May 2025
Sporting CP have dominated this fixture in recent years. Bookmakers have them as overwhelming favorites to win, and I'm siding with them on this one. Rui Borges' men have won seven consecutive home matches against Vitoria de Guimaraes. That said, don't doubt their victory in this one.
Vitoria de Guimaraes, however, can not be underestimated. This is the same team that held the defending champions to a blockbuster 4-4 draw at home in the reverse fixture. When playing away in the Primeira Liga, they are unbeaten in five games. They scored in all of those matches, and I'm expecting them to get on the scoreboard here.
