Team News

Estoril
Sporting
  • Xeka went off injured last time around and won't feature here. Holsgrove should replace him.
  • Alejandro Marqués should recover his Starting XI spot after after making an impact coming from the bench.
  • Pote and Edwards are doubts for Friday. If the fail to recover, Conrad Harder will make another Starting XI appearance here.
  • Daniel Bragança might get the nod over Morita at the middle of the park once again.

Prediction

  • Estoril recovered from a two-goal deficit to earn a valuable draw in Vila do Conde. Ian Cathro's men have shown significant improvement in recent weeks and the proof is that are currently on a 4-match unbeaten run.
  • Sporting CP showed their authority once again by beating AVS 3-0 in a game in which they didn't concede a single dangerous shot. The lions are enjoying a very positive run of form and will be full of confidence heading into this match.
  • Despite Estoril's improvement, the scenario of Sporting dropping points is almost unimaginable, so any result other than a win for the visitors be a shock .
