Team News

Sporting
Casa Pia AC
  • Diomandé went off injured against PSV and won't be available for the next 2-3 weeks.
  • Matheus Reis is also an injury concern but he might recover on time.
  • Duplexe Tchamba joined Clau Mendes and Kiki on the sidelines with a thigh injury, while José Fonte is a doubt.
  • On the other hand, Beni is fully recovered and will boost João Pereira' options in midfield.

Prediction

  • Sporting's good momentum continued in midweek with a valuable draw against PSV in the Champions League. The lions remain unbeaten in the Primeira Liga, with 7 wins in their first 7 games.
  • Casa Pia have improved in recent weeks and this was evident in the game against Vitória SC, where they produced a good defensive display. In the last four games, the team has picked up eight points and will be looking to surprise Sporting.
  • Fatigue could be an important factor and could take away some of Sporting's favoritism. However, playing at home and enjoying a good run of form, the lions can be expected to extend their winning streak to eight in a row.
