Prediction: 1-3
Sporting
Sporting CP will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they face Estrela in the Primeira Liga round 27. The Lions aim to build on a thrilling 6-1 win over Boavista and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on n the away team will be Viktor Gyokeres, who scored a hat-trick in the last league match, whilst both Pedro Goncalves and Antonio Adan remain in the recovery room.
Os Tricolores, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Famalicao. The hosts aim to escape the danger zone, but they should not be looking for vital points in the clash against Sporting, who are enjoying a season to remember. In their last meeting at Estadio Joao Gomes Sporting CP defeated Estrela 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
