ℹ️ Team News: Sporting Lisbon

There’s just the lone fitness concern for the Sporting Lisbon gaffer Rúben Amorim to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Luiz Phellype (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Portimonense

Portimonense manager Paulo Sérgio has to choose a team with limited availability. Pedro Sá (Unknown Injury) and Lucas Fernandes (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

✨ Prediction

Sporting Lisbon will most probably fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they play Portimonense, who will be up against it to break down their defence.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 2-0 winning score for Sporting Lisbon at the conclusion of the game.
