Team News

Sporting
AVS Futebol SAD
  • Gonçalo Inácio got injured and won't feature here. With St.Just and Quaresma also injured, Matheus Reis should fill in the gap.
  • Franco Israel will feature in goal as Kovacevic remains injured.
  • Vasco Lopes scored the winner in epic fashion last time around and should be full of beans here.
  • Rodrigo Ribeiro won't feature here as he cannot face his parent club. Zé Luís might lead the line as a result since Nenê' is also unavailable.

Prediction

  • With a convincing victory over Lille in the Champions League, Sporting showed that they are going through a great period. Back in league action, the lions will be looking for their 6th consecutive win, which would give them a three-point lead over 2nd place.
  • AVS have had an interesting start to the season, with important wins over Rio Ave and Vitória SC. Playing away from home, however, they have struggled and have loss bot matches as visitors.
  • Sporting's form makes it impossible to imagine anything other than them winning against a AVS team that struggles when playing outside of their home turf.
