Team News

Portimonense
Sporting
  • Alemão is back available after serving a match ban and will likely be part of the Starting XI here.
  • Ronie Carrillo, who's also back from suspension, should feature from the outset if Paulo Sérgio opts for a 5-4-1 formation.
  • With a goal and an assist, Daniel Bragança had a delightful performance against CD Tondela for the league cup but is doubtful for Saturday.
  • Coates and St. Juste remain injured which gives Eduardo Quaresma another chance to start at the heart of the defense.

Prediction

  • After coming from behind a 2-goal deficit, Portimonense ended up losing 5-2 to Moreirense FC last time out. They haven't won in the last 4 matches and conceded 11 goals during that period.
  • Sporting had an important win over FC Porto on their last league match.
  • The 'Lions' rescued the top of the table with that result and could end 2023 at 1st place if they manage to get all three points here.
  • The visitors have remarkably defeated Portimonense in each of the last 10 meetings between the sides and will likely get the 11th consecutive victory here.
