Our prediction for this Portugal Primeira Liga match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Casa Pia, Sporting CP will look to record their first home triumph of the new season when they face Arouca on Sunday. The Lions continue life without Viktor Gyokeres and, in his absence, summer signing Luis Suarez is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. Pacey forward Geovany Quenda is pushing for a start following his fine performance in the season opener, while Santos and Braganca remain in the recovery room.
Os Lobos, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over AFS, but they will have a mountain to climb in Lisbon. As Arouca have conceded eight goals in total in the previous three meetings with Sporting CP, we are tempted to bet on the title holders. Vasco Seabra has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Lions.
