Team News

Famalicao
Sporting
  • Other than Sorriso and Gustavo Sá, Armando Evangelista will have a full squad to pick from.
  • Zabiri came from the bench to net a brace and might make another appearence here.
  • Diomandé is back available but will likely start from the bench here.
  • After dealing with a muscular problem, Pote is fully recovered and ready to return to Starting XI on Saturday.

Prediction

  • FC Famalicão beat GD Lagoa last weekend, picking up their 6th clean sheet of the season (in 9 games). They only lost one game in 2024/25, to Vitória SC, in the last few minutes of the match and should be a very tricky opponent.
  • Sporting come into this game with a lot of confidence, enjoying a run of 12 games without defeat in which they have only conceded one draw. Rúben Amorim's men picked up an authoritative win against Sturm Graz in the Champions League last Tuesday.
  • FC Famalicão are one of the strongest teams at the back in Primeira Liga, which could make it very difficult for Sporting to maintain their winning streak in the competition (8 wins in 8 games. Still, it's hard to imagine the lions dropping points, so an away win is the likeliest scenario.
