Team News

Sporting
Vizela
  • Other than St. Juste and Nuno Santos there are no injury concerns for the hosts.
  • Gyokeres will likely lead the line after a wonderful pre-season.
  • Either Trincão or Edwards will feature out wide.
  • Unzueta should be the only new signing to feature at Starting XI here.
  • Nuno Moreira and Lacava will be in competition to start out wide.

Prediction

  • After a disappointing domestic season, in which they've ended in 4th place, Sporting CP will look to make amends with their supporters and will look to fight for the title until the end of the season. They seem determined to do so given the amount spent in the summer and their financial situation (they will not play Champions League this season).
  • FC Vizela appointed new manager Pablo Villar, which could change things regarding the team's style of play. Prior to this match they've beaten CS Marítimo but were defeated by 2nd tier AVS in the league cup, which could impact their confidence here.
  • Sporting CP's ambition for this season and their individual quality should boost them into their first win of the season.
