Bet Of The Day February 22 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Sporting have won their last 12 home games in all competitions
Sporting have scored 49 goals and leaked just eight in that period
Sporting have covered a -1 handicap in their last eight home games
Sporting have won by 2+ goals in 11 of their last 14 games
Sporting beat Young Boys 3-1 in Switzerland last week
Young Boys have won just two of their last 16 European road games
Young Boys have never defeated Portuguese opposition in Europe

We’re off to the Europa League for today’s best bet as Sporting Lisbon look to finish off Young Boys and advance to the next round.

Sporting eased past Young Boys 3-1 in Switzerland in the first leg last week and I expect them to cruise to another victory at home here.

There’s always the risk that Sporting take their foot off the pedal considering they are in complete control of this tie, but I think they will want to keep up their winning momentum and put on a good show in front of their adoring fans.

We’ll be backing Sporting to cover a -1 handicap for our best bet.

Sporting have covered a -1 handicap in their last eight consecutive home games and prevailed by 2+ goals in 11 of their last 14 outings overall.

All up, Sporting have won 13 of their last 14 matches and were comfortable 2-0 victors on the road to Moreirense last weekend in the league.

Sporting have won their last 12 straight home games in all competitions, scoring a whopping 49 goals and conceding just eight in that period.

The Portuguese giants have already showcased they’re a class above Young Boys in Switzerland and they should be able to double down with another impressive win in Lisbon.
