Sporting CP form and stats

Sporting CP are still undefeated on their travels in the Primeira Liga. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Sporting CP failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Rio Ave (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 2-3. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Portimonense at their stadium, the result 3-1.

Sporting CP have the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
