Prediction: 0-2
Sporting
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Santa Clara, Sporting will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Gil Vicente in a postponed fixture. The Lions impressed in their last league match, with the team keeping their Champions League hopes alive, but they need to keep on making progress. The capital club are eyeing their sixth consecutive league win, but they will have to prove their worth on the field.
The good news for the visitors is that defender Ricardo Esgaio is back from suspension. Os Galos, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Rio Ave and Estoril in the last two league games. Given Sporting’s brilliant winning run, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. As for the home team, Georgia international Giorgi Aburjania returns from suspension.
