Team News

Sporting
Estrela da Amadora
  • Nuno Santos suffered a serious injury last time out and could miss the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Geny Catamo should start at left-wing-back.
  • Rúben Amorim's presence on the bench is still uncertain, but his eventual successor, João Pereira, shouldn't change much.
  • With a shoulder injury, Miguel Lopes won't be available to face his former team, while Alan Ruiz is a doubt.
  • Danilo Veiga will feature at right-back since Diogo Travassos cannot face his parent club.

Prediction

  • Sporting are going through a great period of form, but things are different off the pitch as the club are in turmoil with the possible departure of Rúben Amorim, who set up the pillars of what is now a dominant team.
  • Estrela de Amadora were held to a draw at home last time out, but they actually picked up a valuable point against Vitória SC, a team that has had a fantastic start to the season.
  • It's always going to be difficult to deal with the noise around the club, but Sporting's players have enough quality to overcome that and they should come away with all three points.
