Prediction: 1-3
Sporting
Boavista and Sporting square off against each other at Estadio do Bessa Seculo XXI in what is expected to be a close Portugal Primeira Liga game. Boavista have found their best form of late and they will try to continue in the same manner this weekend. The home side failed to score in each of the last five encounters with Sporting and they will surely try their best to put an end to the negative trend. Miguel Reisinho faces race against the clock to be fit for this meeting.
The Lions, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions, including impressive back-to-back Champions League wins over Tottenahm and Eintracht Frankfurt. Pedro Goncalves will be the main threat for the opposition defenders, as he scored four goals and assisted three more in his last five games. Sporting do not suit Boavista, which is the main reason we are going to put our money on the visitors this time out. All Daniel Bragança, Jerry St. Juste, Luis Neto and Jovane Cabral should miss out through injuries for the visiting side.
