Analysis and forecast of the final of the Portuguese Cup “Porto” – “Sporting” (05/26/2024)
The season is quickly coming to an end. The matches of matchday 34 of the Primeira Liga have passed. The final of the Portuguese Cup is scheduled for May 26, in which Porto and Sporting will face each other. The starting whistle will sound at 19:15 Moscow time.

Vancouver-Inter Miami. Messi and Suárez do not see barriers
Porto is not having a very successful season. In the Champions League they stopped in the round of 16, lost to Benfica in the Portuguese Super Cup match and finished in third place in the Primeira Liga, eight points behind Benfica and 18 behind Sporting.
A victory in the Portuguese Cup can smooth things out a bit. Sergio Conceição’s team is the current winner of the tournament. They will act with a special spirit to defend the title and lay the foundations for the next season.
However, the “dragons” still cannot prevent global changes. Milan are known to be considering Sergio Conceicao as a replacement for Stefano Pioli. If the transfer goes through, Porto will have serious problems. It is difficult to find a quality specialist with similar ideas.
The blue and white team still has a pending problem with Pepe. The Porto management doubts the convenience of renewing the contract of the former Real Madrid defender due to his age, regression and injuries. This season, the Portuguese played 34 games for the Club in all official tournaments, in which he scored three goals and gave one assist.
Prediction for the French Cup final:
Lyon-PSG. Will the Parisians win the 15th French Cup?
At first glance, Sporting approaches the next match as clear favorites. The team is having an outstanding season. The Lions set some incredible club records. They scored 90 points in the Primeira Liga, won 29 of 34 games and scored 96 goals.
Rubén Amorim has built a very strong and stable team. He had excellent knowledge of how to manage Sporting, but he had difficulty developing his career further. Several Premier League clubs were interested in the specialist’s services, but the matter did not reach concrete details.
Finally, Amorim announced that he would remain at Sporting. To get a “golden” double, he will have to surpass himself somehow. Sergio Conceicao’s team is an extremely uncomfortable rival for Rubén.
The green and white have only won one of the last eight direct confrontations. And then they won at home. There were also two draws with many goals. You can bet on Porto to win the Portuguese Cup at bookmakers with odds of 2.08.
Sporting showed quality football more frequently during the season, but Porto was better prepared for the important matches. The Lisbon team lost almost all of its important matches, even on the international stage.
The Green and Whites won only 4 of 10 games in the Europa League. And they defeated obvious outsiders. The Dragons have only lost three of their eight games in the Champions League. In everything else they won. Even in the first match of the round of 16 of the tournament they managed to beat Arsenal (1-0).
Prediction and bets for the Portuguese Cup match Porto – Sporting on May 26, 2024
Despite the problems encountered during the season, Porto has a better chance of winning the Portuguese Cup. The team is mentally better prepared for the final than Sporting. The history of direct confrontations and performances on the international stage shows that in important meetings the “lions” are more vulnerable than the “dragons”.
Tender: Porto will win the Portuguese Cup in 2.08.
