Team News

Sporting
Estoril
  • Rafael Pontelo signed in midweek but will have to wait for his debut.
  • Morita and Diomandé are away on International Duty, which should give Bragança and Quaresma another chance to feature here.
  • Raúl Parra might start once again after a decent performance last time around.
  • João Marques netted a brace last time around and will push for a start here.

Prediction

  • Sporting CP were able to get the win in the late stages of the match against Portimonense SC as Paulinho scored the winner to keep them at the top of the table. Gyokeres was once again a standout performer and the Lions will rely on him to get another three points.
  • Estoril ended the year on an high note as they defeated SC Farense by 4-0 last time out. They've been prolific upfront as they scored 12 goals in the last three matches, with a 3-1 win over FC Porto during that period.
  • The visitors have been hard to beat and Sporting CP should expect the same difficulties that FC Porto had against the 'Canarinhos'. However, given Rúben Amorim men' confidence, they're expected to come out with all three points.
