Prediction: Sporting Wins
Sporting CP should easily wrap this game up with a clean sheet. Even with rotations in a do-or-die game, AVS isn't normally one to net goals, while the Lions are rock-solid at the back.
There could be tons of goals, just as their last meeting produced six in total. But don't expect them from the last-placed AVS side, who are struggling to even reply to opponents, especially in defeat. Hence, our Sporting Lisbon vs AVS Futebol SAD prediction is Sporting wins to nil and Both Teams To Score - No.

Next up is a Taca de Portugal title defence charge against AVS, whom they've found no problem dominating. However, it's a knockout game, and any slip-ups could've cost the champions against a desperate AVS side, just as it did in their 2-2 draw last year.
But in truth, it's looking unlikely given their form. AVS just lost 4-0 to Braga, extending its winless run to nine in ten games, which featured seven defeats. In fact, AVS is winless in its 20 league games this season, only boasting of victories in this very tournament. The new club did impress in the last round, knocking out Vitoria SC, who recently won the Taca da Liga.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Sporting -2.5/3
European Handicap: Sporting Wins
Predicted Scores: 3-0, 4-0, 5-0
Predicted Total Goals: 3, 4, 5
