Chaves (home team)
- Chaves have lost four of their last five games, with only one win.
- Chaves return to action on Sunday when they face Sporting CP B, the team that have taken the early lead in the Segunda Liga 2025-2026 with 22 points from 10 matches.
- Chaves’ only win in their last five matches came two days ago when they fought hard to win 1-0 away at Leixoes in the Segunda Liga and the result might just give them a platform to build on in this clash, according to our Chaves vs Sporting CP B betting tips.
- Roberto is the most reliable goal source for Chaves, who play with compact lines and focus on being organised at the back, winning the ball back from set-pieces and transitioning quickly to catch the opponents out in the space behind.
- Chaves have scored 0.80 goals per home game and conceded the same amount in the Segunda Liga and it’s easy to see this one being tight.
Sporting CP B (away team)
- Sporting CP B have lost one of their last five (Won 3, Drawn 1).
- João Gião’s men play a similar, high-tempo, ball-on-the-ground, overloading the midfield, pressing to win the ball high up the pitch style of soccer as their big brother club, the first team at Sporting.
- Rafael Nel, who has scored five goals in nine appearances in the Segunda Liga, including four in his last five, is in red-hot form and can finish off chances.

Betting Insights
- Sporting CP B are a class apart from their opponents this Sunday in terms of league position, recent form and the quality of their attacking players, but it is Chaves who are priced as favorites at 2.26 to take the three points. The Chaves vs Sporting CP B prediction seems tighter than what the odds suggest.
- The visitors, who will be delighted with their start to the Segunda Liga campaign, are available at 3.21, which seems too big a price based on this Chaves vs Sporting CP B betting tips.
Prediction
- This game has added intrigue as Sporting CP B are back in Segunda after being the club’s reserve team for so long and the academy talent on the pitch should be able to just edge Chaves in the end.
- But the hosts are a stubborn side, as they proved away at Leixoes, so we’re going to take the odds-against option on under 2.5 goals at 1.65 because the hosts tend to play that way.
