Team News

Sporting
Vitoria de Guimaraes
  • Diomandé reached a milestone of bookings against FC Famalicão and will serve a match ban. Coates should deputise.
  • Esgaio will miss out due to the same reason and will probably be replaced by Catamo, if recovered.
  • With João Mendes injured, Nuno Santos will feature alongside Handel and Tiago Silva at Vitória SC' engine room.
  • Both Bruno Gaspar and Jorge Fernandes will serve a match ban due to an accumulation of bookings. Maga and Manu will probably start as a result.

Prediction

  • Sporting CP wasn't convincing against FC Famalicão, but ended up winning which increased their gap to 2nd place. They're now only 9 points away from becoming Primeira Liga champions.
  • Vitória SC were held to a draw by SC Farense last weekend before losing to FC Porto for the Portuguese Cup. However, they've delivered fine performances and should be confident here.
  • This should be an interesting match between two offensive minded teams. Playing at home, and having a far better team, Sporting CP should get all three points.
