Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Famalicao
Match Time & Date:
03/02/2024
19:00
Prediction: 1-2
Sporting
Famalicao will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Braga and Moreirense when they face Sporting CP on Saturday evening. Famalicao suffered a dip in form and, no doubt, they will have a mountain to climb in the round 20 clash. Even though Joao Pedro Sousa has a luxury to field the best possible side, home win should not be considered. The Lions, on the other hand, rolled over Casa Pia 8-0 in their last league match, with the team extending their winning run to six games.
Given Famalicao’s poor form in January, we predict that the league leaders are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Hidemasa Morita and Ousmane Diomande are on international duty, while defender Ivan Fresneda remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury. Viktor Gyokeres, who scored a brace against Casa Pia, is widely expected to lead the line for the capital club.
Highlighted Player (Sebastian Coates):
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on October 7, 1990, Sebastian Coates is a 196-cm-tall defender who plays for Sporting CP in Primeira Liga. Coates is the product of the hometown club Nacional, and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 60 appearances for the capital club in the national championship.
After ending his spell with English club Sunderland, the Uruguay international moved to Portugal, signing a loan deal with Sporting CP in January 2016. He signed a permanent contract with the Lions in February 2017.
Speaking of his international career, Sebastian Coastes made his full Uruguay debut against Chile at the 2011 Copa America. La Celeste won the trophy, with the team beating Paraguay 3-0 in the final of the competition at Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires. Coates wears the number 4 shirt at Sporting CP, and his preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Famalicao):
Founded on August 21, 1931, Famalicao are a Portuguese football club that compete in the Primeira Liga. The colour of their home kit is white, with the team wearing blue shirts and blue shorts when playing on the travels.
