Team News

Sporting
Boavista
  • Pote and Morita are doubts for Sunday which could pave the way for Daniel Bragança and Edwards to start.
  • Catamo, Coates and Nuno Santos were benched in midweek but are likely to return to Starting XI here.
  • Sasso is a doubt for Sunday' match and will be replaced by Filipe Ferreira if he fails to recover.
  • Seba Pérez is back available and will likely join Makouta at the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Despite beating FC Arouca by 3-0, Sporting CP were not convincing. They had a midweek match against Atalanta where they were eliminated from the Europa League. The Lions aren't expected to be confident here, but will look to win in order to head into the International break at the top of the league.
  • Boavista FC defeated Casa Pia at home, which allowed them to breathe easier at the league table. The 'Axarezados' are now 6-points away from the relegation zone and will look to upset Sporting CP.
  • However, odds are against them to do so as they lost in each of their last 15 trips to Estádio José Alvalade and have actually struggled to score there - the last time they were able to find Sporting' back of the net happened in 2015.
