Sporting Lisbon

WWWDWW 📈

Sporting Lisbon come into this match following a 3-1 Primeira Liga win with the downing of Moreirense in their previous outing.

In that match, Sporting Lisbon managed 64% possession and 20 shots on goal with 10 of them on target. The only player to score for Sporting Lisbon was Viktor Gyökeres (12', 25', 52'). Moreirense got 6 shots at goal with 2 on target. Cedric Teguia (56') scored for Moreirense.

A sequence of steadfast performances by the Sporting Lisbon defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures overall. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 14. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, of course.

Going into this contest, Sporting Lisbon haven't been defeated in their previous 8 league matches away from home. Travelling very well.

ℹ️ Team News: Boavista

We think that As Panteras should go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Tomas Vaclik, Osman Kakay, Rodrigo Abascal, Sidoine Fogning, Filipe Ferreira, Marco van Ginkel, Joel da Silva, Miguel Reisinho, Gboly Ariyibi, Salvador Agra and Abdoulay Diaby.

📰 Team News: Sporting Lisbon

Sporting Lisbon manager Rui Borges has to currently contend with reduced team options. João Simões (Metatarsal fracture), Hidemasa Morita (Muscle injury), Daniel Bragança (Cruciate ligament tear) and Nuno Santos (Patellar tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that Sportinguistas might begin the game with a 3-4-3 formation by sending out Rui Silva, Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Goncalo Inacio, Geovany Quenda, Morten Hjulmand, Zeno Debast, Maximiliano Araujo, Trincao, Viktor Gyoekeres and Geny Catamo.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Boavista are likely to breach the defence of this Sporting Lisbon side, although one goal is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.

We can see both teams to score in a 1-2 victory for Sporting Lisbon when all is said and done. There looks to be little in this one.
