ℹ️ Team News: Boavista

The Boavista manager Armando Petit will be thankful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this match thanks to a fully healthy group ready to go.

We think that As Panteras will probably employ a 3-4-3 formation for this game, handing starts to Cesar, Reggie Cannon, Vincent Sasso, Rodrigo Abascal, Pedro Malheiro, Sebastian Perez, Gaius Makouta, S. Onyemaechi, Bruno Lourenco, Robert Bozenik and Kenji Gorre.

🗞️ Team News: Sporting Lisbon

Sporting Lisbon boss Rúben Amorim has to currently contend with reduced team options. Daniel Bragança (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Jovane Cabral (Knock) and Jeremiah St. Juste (Muscular problems) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We’re of the thinking that Sportinguistas might elect for a 3-4-3 formation, starting the game with Antonio Adan, Goncalo Inacio, Sebastian Coates, Matheus, Pedro Porro, Hidemasa Morita, Manuel Ugarte, Nuno Santos, Trincao, Marcus Edwards and Pedro Goncalves.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that Boavista have enough to find the back of the net against this Sporting Lisbon outfit, although just one goal may not quite be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a narrow 1-2 victory for Sporting Lisbon after the 90. Let’s just see how this one goes.
