Head To Head And Previous Matches

For Porto, any season without a championship is a failure. They came third in the league. Therefore, a possible cup win may help Porto mend their wounds. Sergio Conceicao's squad has won five of the last six games. Porto beat Braga 1-0 away last weekend. Porto controlled the remainder of the game after Victor Perea Gomez of the home side received two yellow cards in the first twelve minutes. Encouraged by their previous achievements, Porto is in a high mood going into the cup final at Estadio Nacional do Jamor against Sporting CP. The players of Porto are keen to take advantage of the chance to win a trophy and save their season with one.

Among the finest seasons in Sporting CP's history was 2023–24. With their resounding league championship, they now stand to win another cup. Out of the past eight games, Sporting CP has won seven. They defeated Chaves at home by 3-0 in the last game. It makes sense why Sporting CP won another game when the home team almost quadrupled their opponent's XG in that one.
