📰 Team News: Sporting Lisbon
Gonçalo Inácio (Thigh problems), Antonio Adán (Muscle injury) and Trincão (Foot bruise) are unavailable for Sporting Lisbon manager Rúben Amorim.
It seems likely that Sportinguistas will possibly go for a 3-4-3 system for this game and select Antonio Adan, Eduardo Quaresma, Sebastian Coates, Ousmane Diomande, Geny Catamo, Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita, Nuno Santos, Marcus Edwards, Viktor Gyoekeres and Pedro Goncalves.
ℹ️ Team News: Farense
Owing to a fully injury-free squad to pick from, the Farense boss José Mota has zero fitness concerns to report before this game.
We are inclined to think that Farense will likely make use of a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Ricardo Velho, Fran Delgado, Goncalo Silva, Zach Muscat, Talocha, Fabricio Isidoro, Facundo Caseres, Elves, Rafael Barbosa, Marco Matias and Ze Luis.
✨ Prediction
We feel that in this game, Sporting Lisbon will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
However, Farense will be up against it to find the back of the net but we can see them pulling one back during this clash, too.
We’re therefore anticipating a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Sporting Lisbon after 90 minutes.
