Prediction

  • Rio Ave FC delivered a fine performance against FC Famalicão but came away empty handed. However, Luís Freire's men have been improving and should be a tough bone to chew here.
  • Sporting CP's wonderful run of form continued last Monday with a convincing 2-0 win over Moreirense, extending their winning run in the league to eight matches in the process. Rúben Amorim's men should be full of confidence here.
  • Playing in Vila do Conde is always a tough task for any team in the league but Sporting CP are enjoying a delightful run of form and aren't expected to slip up here.
