Team News

Estrela da Amadora
Sporting
  • Diogo Fonseca, Miguel Fonseca and Gaspar should form the back three on Friday after their decent performance last time around.
  • Kikas and Ronaldo Tavares will be in competition to lead the line on Friday.
  • Trincão is fully recovered and will boost Sporting CP' offensive options in a match where Edwards and Pote will be unavailable through injury.
  • Esgaio should get the nod over Catamo at right-wing back.

Prediction

  • Estrela da Amadora had a decent performance prior to the break as they've held FC Famalicão to a scoreless draw after beating Casa Pia by 3-1. They've been hard to beat by title contenders and this match should be no exception.
  • Sporting CP came from behind to beat Boavista by 6-1 last time around, which shows how confident they've been. However, with the International break, they might lose some gas, especially given that some key players had late returns.
  • This won't be no walk in the park for the league leaders and they might struggle to beat Estrela at the 'Reboleira'. However, given their talent, they should find the way to bring all three points home.
