Team News

Sporting
Vitoria de Setubal
  • Luciano Vietto has fully recovered and might be an option off the bench, leaving Luiz Phellype as Sporting CP's only injury concern.
  • Marcos Acuña is also available and will likely feature at the heart of defence.
  • Other than that, Rúben Amorim should stick with the same starting XI that lost to FC Porto last week.
  • João Meira failed to impress at right-back last time out. Sílvio will deputise.
  • Artur Jorge is expected to feature alongside Jubal at the heart of the defence given Pirri's absence due to an accumulation of bookings.
  • Guedes will miss out through injury, which leaves the door open for Hachadi to start.

Prediction

  • Sporting CP lost to FC Porto last time out, which allowed SC Braga to move closer to third place. The Lions might be behind Braga heading into this match and will be pressured to return to winning ways since they face rivals SL Benfica next week.
  • Vitória FC dropped into the relegation zone after Portimonense's win over Boavista and will be desperate to get at least a point from their trip to the Estádio José Alvalade.
  • However, they will face a tough opponent and will likely remain in the bottom two come the end of the round.
